Contrary to news making the rounds that actress,
Halima Abubakar has been diagnosed with
cancer, her Ghanaian manager, Anah Abi, has
said the actress is battling with complications
from a fibroid removal surgery she had sometime
ago.
In an exclusive chat with Sunday Scoop , she
said, “Halima has shared a lot about what’s
happening to her before in the past, so it is just
natural for her to share this as well. She’s never
scared to share anything that she’s going
through. We thank God that she’s responding to
treatment though she’s still weak but she has a
lot of wonderful people around her. She would be
having her next surgery in two weeks so for now,
she has to rest. The information going round that
she has cancer is totally false. She already said it
herself that it is fibroid. She has also thanked the
Kogi State First Lady who has been very kind to
her. She had complications from the initial
fibroids operation that she had. We are grateful
because a lot of people prayed for her and I
believe that’s the essence of the post Tonto
Dikeh made. Aside medicine, she needs prayers
too.”
Speaking on the controversial social media post
and picture by Tonto Dikeh, in which Halima was
shown with her head completely shaven, which
many took to mean the effects of chemotherapy
used to treat cancer, Abi said, “Tonto is Halima’s
best friend. She came to Lagos to shoot a movie
and called Halima who then told her that she was
in the hospital. Tonto immediately came to the
hospital and took her to her hotel. She left the
work she came for and spent time with Halima.
People that have been praying for her should
keep doing so and ignore the pictures. She is
comfortable enough to be seen anyhow she is.
Besides, Halima has posted worse pictures of
herself, so there is no big deal in what Tonto
posted.”
When Sunday Scoop sought to speak with
Halima, our correspondent was informed that she
was sleeping and couldn’t speak to anyone for
now.
