Aproko247 has learnt that management of the University College Hospital, UCH, in Ibadan, Oyo State, has resolved to take responsibility for the treatment of veteran comedian, Moses Olaiya popularly called Baba Sala.
Baba Sala was rushed to the hospital few days ago after he fell ill at his Ilesa home in Osun State. He has been receiving treatment at the hospital since then.
The Chief Medical Director of UCH, Professor Temitope Alonge, announced this gesture in a statement issued by the hospital’s Public Relations Officer, Deji Bobade, on Thursday.
“UCH will pay up the cost of treating Baba. We decided to do this because he is a national hero who should be made to enjoy now that he is old. He served this country to the best of his ability. He deserves to be honoured and respected,” the CMD was quoted in the statement.
It was gathered that the comedian and his family thanked the hospital for the gesture.
