Hajj 2019: Actress Kemi Afolabi falls sick, rushed to hospital in Makkah, as Amir-ul Hajj assures of adequate care

A Nollywood actress Kemi Afolabi has been rushed to a hospital in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.

The incident occurred on Thursday.

The actress, who came to perform hajj, fell ill due to the stress associated with the hajj exercise.

The Nation reporter in Saudi Arabia had observed that Afolabi has been showing symptoms of illness while in Madinah.

She was seen sleeping in the bus during Ziyara (visitation to historical sites).

Though, she joined the other pilgrims to some of the sites, but sat in the bus for others.
It was learnt that the eight hours drive from Madinah to Makkah last Tuesday took a toll on her.

Dr AbdulLateef (middle) and Dr Tajudeen Yusuf praying for Afolabi on sick bed.

Also, the strenuous Umrah activities contributed to her ill health.

Afolabi told The Nation that she slept in the Makkan Holy Mosque (Masjid Haram) after the Umrah exercise to engage in some other acts of worship.

According to a medical practitioner attached to the Lagos State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board (LSMPWB), Dr Abideen Aro, Afolabi had symptoms such as fever, headache, loss of appetite and weakness.

Dr Aro, who is working Lagos State Accident and Emergency Centre, said: “We have warned the pilgrims before leaving Nigeria to use anti-malarial drugs as prophylaxis. But unfortunately, in her case, she didn’t use the drug due to oversight.

” After noticing those symptoms, I alerted the Head of Lagos State Medical Team, Dr Muhammad Isa, who made an arrangement for an ambulance. I and Nurse Zaynab Sarumi from the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) accompanied her in an ambulance to the Nigeria Hajj Commission (NAHCON) Clinic where an assessment of malaria fever was made and she was placed on Intra-Muscular Injections for three days on an out-patient basis.”

Amirul Hajj Dr AbdulHakeem AbdulLateef went to visit her with some clerics.

Dr AbdulLateef assured Afolabi of adequate care and offered a prayer for her.

“Before we left Lagos, the directive of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to us is to ensure the proper welfare of the pilgrims. It is normal for someone coming for hajj exercise for the first time to experience this kind of thing due to the rigours of the exercise.

“Part of our orientation before leaving Lagos was too sensitive the pilgrims on things to expect in Saudi Arabia. I have directed the Head of the Medical Team to see her and other pilgrims down with an illness. I pray to Allah to grant them quick recovery before the main hajj rites commenced, Dr AbdulLateef told The Nation.
