Actor and immediate past President of the Association of Nigeria Theatre Arts Practitioners, Adewale Elesho, has undergone a successful operation following concerns over an injury on his face.

The development was disclosed by the National Publicity Secretary of the association, Oluwafemi Adejonwo, popularly known as Femson, in a post on Facebook on Sunday.

Concerns about Elesho’s health grew after a visible injury on his face was noticed during the burial of veteran actor Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, in Ilaro, Ogun State.

The injury subsequently sparked speculation on social media, with some posts suggesting that the actor could be suffering from skin cancer.
