Veteran Ghanaian actor Mawuli Semevo is in critical condition following a devastating domestic fire that left him with over 40% of his body suffering from second-degree burns.
The incident occurred late last night, and emergency services were quick to respond, rushing Semevo to a local hospital where he is currently being treated. His family, overwhelmed by the sudden turn of events, has issued a plea for prayers and support from the public.
In a statement released today, the family expressed their gratitude for the outpouring of love and concern. “We are deeply touched by the community’s response and we ask for your continued prayers as Mawuli fights for recovery,” they said.
Fellow actress Edinam Atatsi has taken the initiative to launch a fundraising campaign to help cover the substantial medical costs. “Mawuli has brought joy to so many through his work. Now, it’s our turn to support him in his time of need,” Atatsi said.
The entertainment industry in Ghana has rallied around Semevo, with many of his peers and fans sharing messages of hope and solidarity. Social media platforms are filled with well-wishes, and several fundraising links have been shared widely.
