Julia Olaotan is the wife of the late Nigerian veteran actor, Victor Olaotan, who passed away On Thursday, August 26th in Lagos.
Julia had been by the late actor’s side throughout his sickness for the past five years, taking care of all of his medical needs.
Little to nothing is known of Julia and the late actor’s marriage and of their children if they have any.
Julia had been the only family member of the late actor who was always in the news, seeking financial help needed for treatments for the actor following the accident.
She first appealed to Nigerians for help to pay for her husband’s treatment months after Victor’s accident which billionaire, Femi Otedola, offered to take care of and he paid for the treatment.
Julia Oloatan again came to seek more help for Victor after the hospital demanded an amount of $150,000, for the second procedure of his treatment. Julia had shared that, needed all the help she could get as she was drowning as the bills for her husband’s medical needs were piling up and she had used all the money she received from people to pay for all extra bills.
Julia disclosed that she was receiving threatening emails and calls from the hospital at a point, asking her to come and offset the bills or they will be forced to take legal action. She, therefore, had to bring Victor back home to Nigeria as they could no more raise the money to continue the treatment.
Julia, often spoke with her husband via video calls when he was in the Turkish hospital and she shared in an interview that whenever they spoke, she could see that he was “fighting for his life”.
Following the actor’s death, Julia is said to have shared that she is glad he is now resting from the suffering. She sent gratitude to everyone who supported her husband while he was battling for his life.
