Popular Nigerian actor Rotimi Salami has revealed that he was recently hospitalised following what he described as a serious health scare that left him critically weak over the past 48 hours.

The actor disclosed the development on Monday via a post on his Instagram page, where he shared a photo of himself lying on a hospital bed. In the emotional update, he stated that he “narrowly escaped death,” attributing his survival to divine intervention.

Expressing gratitude for his recovery, Salami suggested that intense physical and emotional strain may have contributed to his condition. He referenced his involvement in a recently released cinema production titled Kilanko, a film dedicated to the memory of late actress Allwell Ademola, noting that the project had taken a significant toll on him.

In his words, he wrote that he survived the past 48 hours because “God said yes,” adding that he is not typically inclined to dramatic expressions about spiritual battles, but acknowledged that he had “stressed this body” extensively.

The actor’s post has since drawn widespread concern from fans and colleagues in the entertainment industry, many of whom have taken to social media to wish him a speedy recovery.

As of the time of filing this report, further details regarding his medical condition have not been officially disclosed.
