Addressing the issue, Dele Odule said:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThere\u2019s nothing wrong with me, I am very much alive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI don\u2019t understand why someone would wish me dead. This is barbaric, uncalled for, and not fair.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The 63 year old actor also took aim at another false report that suggested he had been arrested for child molestation, featuring an image of him in handcuffs. Dele Odule added:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cFor what? What is your problem? Are you alright? Don\u2019t try to bring me down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cIf you come at me, you\u2019re coming at God because you are not fighting me but God.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/2024\/06\/08\/ayra-starr-left-the-comments-endearing-moment-dele-odule-prostrates-to-greet-ebenezer-obey-video\/\">Dele Odule<\/a> expressed his gratitude to fans who have shown support, saying:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI love you to bits.
