In a recent live video, Halima Abubakar spoke about her diagnosis and revealed that she has been evicted from her home, leaving her “homeless and desperate.”
The actress said she spent all her savings last October to pay for her mother’s N9 million hernia surgery and is now struggling to cover her own needs.
Halima explained that she tried to use funds raised for her medical treatment to pay her rent, but her landlady refused, forcing her to leave the house.
She appealed directly to public figures, including former Kogi governor Yahaya Bello, activist VeryDarkMan, and Seyi Tinubu, asking for urgent assistance.
The actress said she had reached out to several celebrities for support, including Don Jazzy, but received no response.
“I have just been evicted from my house. I have been diagnosed with a brain tumour. Yesterday, my caretaker came to tell me to leave the house. The money contributed for my health, which I wanted to use to pay my rent, was rejected by my landlady,” she said.
“Do they want me to kill myself? From one situation to another, I have packed all my belongings and I have nowhere to go. I do not want to kill myself.
“Yahaya Bello, VDM, Seyi Tinubu, everyone, I need your help. I have nobody. I cannot even reach any celebrities; none of them is answering my calls. I called Don Jazzy, but there was no response. What did I do?
“I have a brain tumour. Nigerians, please help me. What have I done that everyone is turning their back on me? I withdrew my surgery money to pay my rent, but my landlady refused to accept it. I need help from Nigerians for money to handle many things.
“I would not have come out to seek help if not for my mother’s hospital bill, which I paid in October. It was N9 million for her hernia surgery, and I am still owing.”
Halima stressed that her situation is real, rejecting claims that she is seeking attention or sympathy.
The actress explained that she needs around N25 million to cover her surgery, post-operative care, living expenses, and accommodation.
She also revealed that she relocated to Abuja to be near the Turkish Hospital, where she has been receiving treatment for the past year.
“Only a mad person would lie about being sick. It is embarrassing and heartbreaking that people think I am lying. I am coming out publicly to seek help because I have asked people around me and received none. I am ashamed to do this, but it is my only option,” she added.
“I have nothing to my name anymore except the money contributed for my surgery. I have suffered too much.
“I need the help of my state governor. I need enough money for my surgery. My spleen needs to be removed. I need accommodation and feeding. I relocated to Abuja to be close to the hospital, Turkish Hospital. I have been on medication for a year now. I need N25 million for my health.”
KanyiDaily recalls that in February 2025, Halima Abubakar appealed to the Kogi government for assistance, though she did not disclose the medical condition at the time.
