Actress Opeyemi Aiyeola Narrowly Escapes Death After Self-Medicating [VIDEO]

Nollywood actress, Opeyemi Aiyeola has shared her near-death experience after taking self-medication.

Opeyemi Aiyeola who is currently on admission at a hospital revealed in a recent update on her Instagram page that she almost died because of self-medication as she bought some drugs from an ‘over-the-counter’ shop after feeling feverish but did not read the information on the drugs.

According to her, she assumed she had malaria so she resolved to buying herself some medication after some of her colleagues also pointed to the fact that she is experiencing symptoms of malaria.

In her narration, the actress disclosed that she passed out twice before she was finally admitted at the hospital and her close shave with death has taught her a lesson that she must not self-medicate and must read precautions and side-effects of drugs when she obtains them before taking them.

Sharing the video, she captioned;

Reading is profitable 🙌🏾👍🏽
