In a video recently shared on YouTube by Channels TV, Orji revealed that he underwent two brain surgeries in Nigeria after collapsing in the bathroom. He attributed his survival to the grace of God, as he was unconscious for five hours before help arrived. He explained that during his ordeal, his friend, Bala Ahmed who was in the UK at the time received calls from concerned individuals unable to reach him.
Orji said Ahmed then contacted another colleague, Benedict Johnson, who rushed to his (Orji’s) house in Abuja and found him unconscious on the floor. He said Johnson along with another actor called Labister took him to a hospital
In Orji’s words: “I slumped in the bathroom and passed out for 5 hours before help came, I am alive by God’s grace. Incidentally, my friend Bala Ahmed was in the UK at the time and people called him to say ‘We have been knocking upon his door since morning and we have not been receiving any response’, so he called another colleague, Benedict Johnson who rushed to the house and I was there on the floor incoherent. I could not even stand because when he raised me, I slumped again and he had to call another colleague whom we call Labister, and the two of them lifted me and took me to the hospital”.
