The musician, also known as Minister Osei Kumi, was seen lying in a hospital bed when Ghanaian media personality Dek360 visited him at the Nyaho Clinic.
A tube had been fitted through his nose, while his wrists were covered with bandages as he continued receiving medical attention.
Ebenezer's sister speaks on his condition
During the visit, Osei Kumi’s sister said the gospel musician had been admitted to the health facility for one week and three days.
She explained that her brother had been diagnosed with an infection affecting his liver and was unable to eat or drink normally because of his condition.
According to her, food, water and prescribed treatment are currently administered through the tube fitted into his nose.
She added that the family spends approximately GH¢15,000 every two days to keep him under medical care. The high cost of his treatment has consequently placed considerable financial pressure on the family.
Despite his condition, Osei Kumi was conscious and briefly responded while Dek360 spoke beside his hospital bed.

Osei Kumi previously featured on K Victor’s gospel songs Yesu Ba Maa Me and Mayeyie Rensa Da.

Kobby Kyei praised for supporting struggling family
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that fans and followers of Ghanaian socialite Kobby Kyei heaped praise on him online following his heartfelt campaign to support a single mother and her young son living under harsh conditions.
A few weeks before the online praise, an X video circulated showing Auntie Agyeiwaa, the mother and her 11-year-old son, Angel, living in a dilapidated mud house. The visibly unsafe structure raised immediate concern among social media users.
Further reports indicated that the mother had been battling a stroke for some time, leaving her bedridden and dependent on her young son, who was forced to work after school to provide for both of them.
