Afolabi has been battling lupus for some years.
The movie star took to her Instagram page on Sunday, June 26, 2022, where she refuted the claims after someone shared a photo of a woman receiving prayers from the senior pastor, Chris Oyakhilome.
“Since the news of my illness became public. I have gotten reports of different misinformation and false narratives out there. I have ignored as my focus is on my wellbeing and health. I am a devout Muslim who believes in calling on God and seeking his face in times of need, this I have done consistently and JOY is certain in the End. Sometime ago a picture was circulating online insinuating that I had visited Christ Embassy Church for healing, I paid no attention to it because I didn’t see visiting a church or getting prayers from a pastor as a bad thing. After all we all serve same God I believe. Fast forward to Friday, I posted a video of me doing my personal Islamic supplications, @officialeelahandsome dropped a very disturbing comment today asking if I had just remembered that I was a Muslim or where was Islam when I was seeking solutions from the church. Omg I was stunned at how insensitive human could get just to score religion points which can simply be considered as blasphemy. I personally would like to use this medium to debunk such false narrative, never was there a time that I attended a church for healing, the picture circulating online is not me and I want everyone to please disregard it. I have a personal relationship with Allah, I don’t need anyone to get through him. Love, light, prayer, support and peace”.
It would be recalled that in March the movie star dropped a bombshell about her health.
According to her, she has just five more years to live.
According to Afolabi, she has an incurable ailment and has already lived one year out of the five years given to her by the doctors.
Afolabi quoted her doctor as saying, “Make sure you are with your loved ones. At least, you still have up to five years.”
“I have lupus. It’s not curable. You just have to take medications for the rest of your life,” she said.
She noted that she paid N1.2m on a treatment yet it did not work as she continually cried in pain.
It would be recalled that in Jan, the actress revealed how she had written her will after the diagnosis.
“I wrote my will and booked a space with ebony vault this year 2021 but God showed me how faithful he is despite my unfaithfulness,” she wrote.
“Who am I that God is so mindful of my existence? Me ordinary sand? That was tossed around from my private hospital to LASUTH, to Army barracks hospital WAEC and finally, LUTH where I spent over three months!”
The 43-year-old actor is married with a child.
