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.
