VETERAN Fuji icon, Alhaji Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, is very sick and in critical condition in a private hospital in Lagos where he is receiving treatment.
Although, members of his family have continually refused to disclose his ailment, a hospital source revealed that the Fuji icon is suffering from a heart-related disease worsened by his weight and other related complications.
When Weekend Beats visited Havana Hospital, Surulere, Lagos, where the Fuji star is being admitted, a close associate of his, who would not want his name in print disclosed that Barrister is not dead but still in a critical condition and that plans are on to fly him abroad again for further treatment.
In the past three years, Barrister has been in and out of hospitals as a result of a deterioration in his health and was flown to a popular hospital in India where he underwent a major operation.
Barrister’s critical condition hit the headlines sometime last year when he slumped on stage on a number of occasions and had to be carried off the stage to receive medical attention.
It was also revealed that after seeking medical attention overseas without any visible improvement, the pioneer Fuji star was flown back to the country and was admitted at Havana Hospital, Surulere in Lagos.
A source at the hospital further disclosed that Barrister’s health condition was yet to improve, adding that his condition has degenerated so much that he hardly recognises visitors and can barely stand or sit on his own without being aided. This seems a confirmation of the fact that he never fully recovered from the complications he had with his leg.
Barrister once complained about a troubled leg following an injury he sustained during his days in the Nigerian Army and other complications, which forced him to relocate to the United States of America.
At the hospital, he has been visited by friends and colleagues, including his friend, Weekend Beats however, gathered that the Fuji maestro is presently on the verge of being flown abroad again for treatment and it was on this note that some of his teeming fans are now offering prayers for his quick recovery.
An ardent fan, Kolawole Olalekan Taofeek revealed how much Barrister had achieved with his music and offered prayers for his quick recovery. “I wish the doyen of Fuji quick recovery- He has contributed immensely to the progress of the Fuji industry and Insha-Allah, he will live long to reap the fruits of his labour- Ameinah! “Alhaji Agba is a very straight forward person whose ‘yes’ remain ‘yes’ - come rain come sunshine. He is an upright person. He sticks to his beliefs and stands by the truth always. Even during military regime, he took his stand on democracy as the ultimate. May Allah grant him good health and long life to use his usual medium to educate our politicians on the way forward- Aminah-Yarrab!”
Shandy on her part offered her prayers in six words, “Speedy recovery in Jesus Name! Amen!”
In the same vein, Abdul Waheed prayed: “May Allah heal him with more strength to enable him continue to deliver on his prophetic songs.”
Ayinde Taoreed Akin urged the herbal medial practitioners to use this opportunity to confirm some of their claims of medical potency. “Dr. Sikiru Ayinde will soon get better. All we need is prayer for the star. Our herbal medical practitioners here in Nigeria should also apply their herbs to improve the health of Alhaji Agba.”
While another fan, Adewale said, “May Almighty Allah protect and grant him quick recovery,” another loyalist, Moshood, prayed, “May Allah grant him speedy recovery.”
