“I was sick like someone who had malaria. Malaria/typhoid, that was it, and that was how it started gradually. From one Hospital to another. I can’t remember how long it lasted.

Sindodo said the experience was traumatic, but credited her recovery to faith and prayers.

While speaking on her trials, she held back tears as she reflected on God’s faithfulness.

She joins a growing list of Nollywood actors who have spoken publicly in recent years about health challenges.
