I Contracted Sepsis While On Movie Set – Omowunmi Dada

Actress Omowunmi Dada has narrated how she contracted sepsis while working on a film project in Oyo State. 

Abandoned by the production team in a hotel, Omowunmi alleged her family and management intervened to rush her to a hospital in Ibadan, where she arrived unconscious.

Despite her critical condition, Dada said the production company had the audacity to request a full refund.

”My dear… I got sepsis on a project in Oyo, they literally left me in the hotel.
Thank God my family and management got a car to take me to a hospital in Ibadan. I got there unconscious. It was sepsis and I was lucky to be alive. “Funny thing, production asked for full refund. Hmm”

Jemima Osunde, who also shared her experience of battling gastroesophageal reflux disease after consuming contaminated food on set, expressed solidarity with Omowunmi and revealed that she had to pay for her own treatment.

She added: “Sameeee! I got myself to Lagos and to the hospital. Paid for my treatment myself. They were sending me messages about a refund. By the time my team sent a response with all the clauses they had breached in the contract, they went quiet. Talking about a refund when you haven’t even asked if I’ve recovered.”
