The news of her sickness came to the public light after Indaboski and Rita Edochie initially refused to forgive her for some comments she made about them. After much persuasion, they forgave Ada Jesus.

Ada Jesus also got financial help from well-meaning Nigerians like Marksman Chinedu Ijiomah. Ada Jesus was 22 years old when she passed away.

The sickness which started in 2010 left the actor bedridden and absent from movies for a very long time. It also affected him financially as he spent all his money on treatment and hospital bills.
