Veteran Nollywood actor Clem Ohameze, has debunked claims that he is soliciting funds from people for his forthcoming procedural surgery.

In a video that surfaced on the internet on Wednesday 24th November, the actor said his health challenges started after he had a car accident some time ago. He, therefore, called on Nigerians to pray for him ahead of his surgery

In the footage, Ohameze said doctors informed him that he has to undergo procedural surgery to separate his cervical vertebrae three from four to free his spinal cord permanently.

“After they showed me the procedure and how it’s been done, I was scared. I was told that they are going to cut open the neck and physically separate the cervical vertebrae three from four and then use an iron plate to plate it with some screws so it can remain permanent,” he said.

“It was scary but I have no choice. I seriously need people’s thoughts and prayers as I go in for this procedural surgery.”

It is understood that some social media users misunderstood his video thereby accusing him of soliciting funds.

But in a chat with BBC Pidgin, the film star said he only asked for prayers, adding that he doesn’t want money from anyone.

“The only thing I need from people is their prayer. There’s nothing more than prayers. Prayers go beyond everything. I don’t want money from anybody, I only want their good thoughts and prayers,” he said.

The actor also disclosed that his absence in movies in recent times was due to his health challenges.
