Veteran Fuji musician, Alhaji Kolawole Rasaq Ilori, popularly known as Kollington Ayinla, has debunked rumours of his death.
The 74-year-old fuji musician addressed his health status at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) in Ikeja, Lagos.
Kollington, in a 2-minute video, expressed gratitude to God, the management of the hospital and others for his improved health condition.
The veteran fuji artiste explained that his health condition was so bad that he would have died but his life was saved by the medical practitioners in the hospital, adding that the video is proof to the general public that he is alive and healthy.
“All Lagosians, we thank you. We are using this medium to appreciate you. A lot of things that people don’t know about LASUTH, we want to show you, under the leadership of Adetokunbo O. Fabamwo.
“It is only God that can save a person but they really tried for me because I could have died but due to their efforts, I was saved,” the 74-year-old singer said.
He continued: “Alhaji General Kollignton Ayinla, the leader of all Fuji musicians, I am the one speaking. A lot of people thought I was dead. But LASUTH, they are a king (in terms of treatment). I hail their efforts; you really tried. I thank our Governor, Olusola Babajide Sanwo-Olu. I appreciate your support. I also thank the Chief of Staff.”
