His corpse has been held back by a private hospital in Lagos due to unpaid bills.
It is reported that Okorodudu was unable to pay his medical bills, which hindered his treatment.
Reports indicate that the hospital had demanded that he pay his medical bill of N1 million ($3,200) or he would be thrown out before the weekend.

His wife, Atinuke, also confirmed that the hospital demanded the immediate payment of N600,000 ($1,900) before they release the body of her deceased husband.
The family is yet to pay the medical bills.
The hospital has refused to release Okorodudu’s body until a remaining N600,000 bill is paid.
