Tope Osobal, a popular Nollywood actress has begged for financial assistance to undergo a second surgery for breast cancer treatment.
Her colleague, Foluke Daramola, revealed the actress problem in an Instagram post that Osoba had previously undergone one surgery but requires another procedure to remove remaining cancerous particles. The cost of the second surgery is estimated at N12 million.
In a video shared by Daramola, Osoba’s hospital examination was shown, and it was disclosed that she has sought support from the president of the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN), Bolaji Amusan, popularly known as Mr. Latin.
“It’s one of our colleagues. She has breast cancer. She has had one surgery. But they said there are still some particles in her breast that need to be removed,” Daramola explained.
“She needs about N10/N12 million for her to be able to get back on her feet. She has already sent a letter to our president, Mr. Latin. We are supporting her with what we can.”
Daramola also added a caption in her post urging the public to assist Osoba. It read:
“Behold the face of the colleague I told you all. She has gone through the surgery we didn’t get much but we appreciate you all. Her family members rallied around, and we were able to pay for the surgery but we still hope for your support and help pls.
“This is her direct account details. Nothing is too small 0107515251 GTBank Tope Osoba. God bless u all. A ni fi iru e gba loruko Jesu Amin.”
Osoba, in another video, expressed her heartfelt gratitude to those who had donated and pleaded for additional support to fund her second surgery and aftercare.
“I want to say a very big thank you to everyone who supported me. I want to say a very big thank you to everybody who donated for me to go through my breast surgery. I want to especially thank sister Foluke Daramola for reaching out to people,” she said.
I still need your help guys. Because there is still aftercare. Please guys show me love like you have always done. This is very important. I need to get back on my feet very soon. Do this for me as a birthday gift. Because my birthday is December 2nd. Please help me. I love you.”
