Actress Omowunmi Dada recounts near-death experience after contracting sepsis on set



Nigerian actress, Dada Omowunmi, has shared her experience of contracting sepsis while working on a film project in Oyo State.

Dada’s story comes after a fellow actress, Jemima Osunde, revealed her own health struggles stemming from contaminated food consumed on set in Ibadan.

Responding to Osunde’s post on X.com on Friday, Dada wrote,”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.”


Omowunmi added that the production company, despite her critical condition, requested a full refund.

“Funny thing, production asked for full refund. Hmm…” she added.

“OMG! Sepsis? Thank God for your life sis! Thank God!” Osunde replied.

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.”

PUNCH Online reported on Thursday that Osunde opened up on a life-altering health battle following an incident when she ate contaminated food on set three years ago.

She revealed that she got Helicobacter pylori, a type of bacteria that infects the stomach, after eating the food provided on set in Ibadan Oyo state, and has been battling with gastroesophageal reflux disease since then.
