The Association of Nigerian Theatre Arts Practitioners (ANTP) has revealed that actor Adewale Elesho has undergone surgery for his facial lesion.

Concern over the veteran actor’s facial injury was raised during the funeral rites of late Taiwo ‘Ogogo’ Hassan.

Several people expressed concern, with many describing it as a “lesion” and advising that the actor see a dermatologist.

In an interview with the BBC, Elesho dismissed concerns that his facial injury was cancer, describing it as a minor condition that became enlarged because he did not seek the right treatment when it first appeared.

“It isn’t cancer. Will someone who has cancer be walking about? I will drive and go places. It’s a minor thing; it grew this big because when it started, I didn’t go to the right channel to treat it,” he said.

Reacting via a Facebook post, Adejonwo Oluwafemi Femson, the national publicity secretary of ANTP, said Elesho had undergone surgery for the facial injury, adding that the procedure was successful and that the actor is recovering well.

“Update on my brother, Prince Adewale Adeoye Elesho. By God’s grace, his operation was successful. He is doing well and recovering. Thank you all for the calls, prayers and concern,” he wrote.
