It is no news that the Jaga Jaga crooner has been diagnosed with kidney failure and in July of 2022, he went public to announce plans are ongoing for a transplant. The news went public at the Freedom Vibes 6.0 – Eedris Abdulkareem Colloquium organised in his honour at Freedom Park, Lagos by Unchained Vibes Africa and Lakreem Entertainment.
Eedris said:
I am shouting to my wife. I’m talking about the first time we went to see our doctor; the doctor said they don’t encourage kidney harvesting, selling of kidneys and all that, that the donor has to be a family member, a friend, you know; whether your daughter or your brother or your son, you know.
