Popular Yoruba singer Alayo Melody has addressed growing public questions surrounding why fellow entertainer Omije Ojumi was not flown abroad for medical treatment during his health struggle.
Speaking candidly, Alayo Melody explained that the decision was not due to neglect or lack of concern, but rather a combination of medical advice, timing, and financial and logistical realities surrounding the situation.
According to him, medical professionals handling Omije Ojumi’s case believed that travelling abroad at the time posed serious risks to his condition. He noted that long-distance travel could have further complicated the illness, making it unsafe for the ailing performer.
Alayo Melody also stressed that efforts were made behind the scenes to support Omije Ojumi locally, including seeking specialist care and mobilising assistance within available means. He added that public assumptions often overlook how complex emergency medical decisions can be.
The clarification comes amid online debates and emotional reactions from fans who questioned why overseas treatment — often seen as a last resort for Nigerian celebrities — was not pursued.
Following his explanation, many supporters acknowledged the challenges involved and called for more understanding when dealing with sensitive health matters involving public figures.
