Veteran Reggae musician, Majek Fashek, is critically ill and currently receiving treatment at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in England.

The 70-year-old singer was flown out of Nigeria on Wednesday after his condition became critical.

His manager, Mr. Uzoma Omenka, confirmed this to airon news on Monday

He also said they currently require about 5000 pounds (about N 2.2 million) to cater to the legendary musician’s feeding, transportation amongst expenses.

“Majek is not dead; he is very sick and we are stranded and we need funds urgently,” his manager lamented.

“We want his fans to pray for him; we have been to Nigerian High Commission in the UK and they said they have no funds and it is not their duty, you can’t imagine. We even got a letter from Queen Elizabeth hospital informing the high commission about Majek’s condition but it has amounted to nothing.”

Mr. Omenka refused to reveal the nature of his Majek’s ailment but said since they arrived in London he has expended so much on the singer’s upkeep, daily feeding, and transportation.

He said, “Majek’s ailment is a culmination of so many things. Back in Nigeria, we went from hospital to hospital; St Nicholas even supported us at some point. I sold cars, properties to offset his hospital bills. The airline didn’t even want to fly him to the UK because of his condition; we have spent over N10 m in Nigeria.
