“My sickness is just the sickness of elderly people, arthritis, hypertension, that’s it.“

“Who’s wishing her dead? I am telling you now that Ovuleria is not dead. You can call on the phone and she will speak to you. Wishing her death means that she will live longer,” he said. Although Zebudaya confirmed that the actress is currently suffering from arthritis as well as eyesight problem, “It does not mean that she’s dead,” he added.
Also debunking the rumor, Tony Akpohire who played the role of Zaccheus, Chief Zebudaya‘s house-help confirmed that he just spoke with the Veteran Actress, adding that she is not dead.
