 Few years ago, Nollywood actor, Prince James Uche fell ill after something struck him on his face. In 2012, his wife abandoned him because she could no longer cope with the burden of taking care of him and their three children.
According
to Punch, the actor who is still battling with an undefined heart
disease, memory and sight loss, has been served an eviction notice by
his landlord, ordering him to vacate his residence at 45, Yetunde Brown
Street, Gbagada, Lagos.
In a chat with a Punch correspondent who paid him a visit, the ‘Lost Kingdom’ actor recounted the beginning of his ailment.
“something
struck me on the left side of my face about eight years ago, when I was
heading for the burial ceremony of Pete Edochie’s mother at Nteje in
Anambra State.
“I got to the venue of the ceremony and stayed in the
town for two days. On the third day, I suddenly found that I could no
longer move my body freely. Although I barely managed to get up on my
feet, I could not climb up the staircase.
“I had to wait till the
following Sunday before deciding to leave for Lagos. But my friend,
Edoche, persuaded me to follow him to Enugu where he lived at the time. I
slept in Enugu on that day. In the morning I went for treatment in a
hospital.
“After the doctor had finished examining me, he stared at me with his mouth half open in shock for a long time.
“When
I asked what was wrong, he said I should have been dead. He took my
pulse again and then, sweating, said my blood pressure was abnormally
high. He said it had risen up to 300 and it was a miracle that I was
still alive.”
James now spends most of his time in the premises of a Catholic church near his residence.
