Filmmaker Zeb Ejiro has narrated how actor Saint Obi never recovered from his failed marriage until his d£ath.
Recall that Saint Obi passed away on Sunday, May 7, 2023, after spending several months at a hospital in Jos, Plateau State, where he underwent treatment of an unspecified illness.
Speaking in an interview with Vanguard on Thursday, May 18, Ejiro said: “Two weeks before his d£mise, my phone rang and it was Saint Obi on the other end. I asked him where he had been; that everybody had been looking for him. That was when he told me that he had been down and was admitted to a hospital. He added that he had done multiple surgeries and his condition wasn’t improving. His elder sister then made arrangements to move him to Jos, where he could be given proper treatment.
That was the last time we spoke, as I promised to reach out to him again. But I never did, as the next thing I heard was that Obi is no more.
Obi told me a couple of times that his marriage was cr¥mbling and it was e@ting him up. He was a family man, somebody that loved to stay with his kids and build a happy home.
But when his marriage cr¥mbled, it really affected him and he never recovered from the shock till d£ath. When a man is not together with his family, he will be depre§§ed. No man wants to go into that kind of situation and be happy. So, that contributed to his d£ath.”
