Actor John Bredu Peasah, known for his role on the popular show YOLO, is calling on Ghanaians for help after revealing he has been dealing with a health issue for the past few years.

In a post on his official Instagram page, Drogba as he is affectionately called, revealed that he has been diagnosed with a demyelinating disease.

The actor has been undergoing treatment for two and a half years.

According to the Mayo Clinic, a demyelinating disease is any condition that causes damage to the protective covering that surrounds nerve fibres in one's brain, the nerves leading to the eyes and spinal cord.

The statement on Instagram noted that Drogba needs financial support to help fund his treatment.
