Popular Nollywood actor Yomi Gold has been hospitalised in Morocco after suffering a sudden health scare that left him briefly unconscious.

The actor, who reportedly developed a severe headache, was rushed for urgent medical care and is currently receiving treatment in Marrakech.

The incident became public on Tuesday evening after Yomi shared a now-viral post on his Instagram page, where he also updated fans on his condition and expressed gratitude to the emergency medical team that came to his aid.

Posting a video of himself lying on a hospital bed, he wrote:

“Today reminded me how fragile our breath is and how quickly everything can change.
Life truly lives in seconds. A sudden headache nearly took me out, but by God’s mercy & the swift help of the emergency team in Marrakech, I’m here resting and recovering.

I give thanks to God for preservation, and for everyone He used to reach out, pray, and check on me. May we never take health, time, or one another for granted. Every moment is grace.”


Fans and colleagues across the entertainment industry have since flooded his social media pages with prayers and well-wishes as he continues his recovery.
