As the movie industry and many Nigerians mourn late Nollywood actor Kola Oyewo, who passed away at age 80, an old video of him recounting his battle with prostate enlargement that resulted in him becoming impotent has resurfaced online.
The late actor made this known in an old video interview from 2024 with his junior colleague, Kunle Afod, who visited him.
According to Oyewo, after undergoing a series of tests and surgeries, his doctors had to remove his testicles to save his life.
The actor stated that he first noticed difficulty passing urine in July 2019 and subsequently visited his family doctor in Ilaramokin, Ondo State, who recommended further testing.
In the old video, Oyewo, unable to engage in sexual activities, urinated through a bypass created in his urinary tract by medical experts. Oyewo also mentioned feeling better and participating in several movie projects post-surgery.
Prostate enlargement is a noncancerous growth of the walnut-sized gland below the bladder in men; it naturally enlarges with age, narrowing the urethra and leading to urinary issues.
In related news, Legit.ng reported that the family of the late Kola Oyewo released a heartbreaking tribute confirming his death while also sharing a picture of his final moment.
