His friend, who is the Photo Editor of a sister company, National Mirror, Mr. Bayor Ewuoso drove him home and was later admitted at one of the hospitals in Lagos, where he was told by doctors to consult unorthodox medical practitioners for solution to his ailment.
A colleague of his who said he spoke to him via phone on Monday night, said Ogundeji told him he was heading to Abeokuta for treatment.
He said he could not get across to him on Tuesday morning adding that his phone was switched off when he called him to find out about his health condition.
