His friends and family led by Ademokun whom he(Dr.Bankole) was his best friend at his wedding(both pictured) turned to the public for help, and set up a GoFundMe page to help raise fund for Dr. Bankole’s treatment.

And under one week of the campaign, over £175,000 was raised for the Nigerian-born doctor who is believed to be a gay.

At the weekend, Dr. Bankole was conveyed from US to the UK by an air ambulance.
Announcing his arrival via GoFundMe page Ademokun said: “I’m so pleased to say that Seb is safely back in the UK. He landed this afternoon and has been transferred to intensive care for assessment.

“I can’t thank you all enough for your support to help bring Seb home, we genuinely wouldn’t be here without all of you.

“I also want to thank the doctors that looked after him in the US, they’ve done an incredible job and we are all grateful.seb 5
