Nollywood actress Tope Osoba has appealed for financial assistance from the public to help cover the costs of a second breast cancer surgery.
In a heartfelt plea shared by her colleague, actress Foluke Daramola, on Instagram, it was revealed that Osoba has already undergone one surgery but requires an additional procedure to remove remaining particles from her breast. The second surgery is estimated to cost N12 million.
“She needs about N12 million for the second surgery to be able to get back on her feet,” Daramola said, sharing a video of Osoba in the hospital.
Another actress, Tawa Ajisefini, also rallied support, writing: “Temitope, I am sorry to see you go through all of this. I wish you a very quick recovery. Oo ni balo lagbara olorun, alaafia a toh e. Fam please, Tope needs you. We all need your help with her surgery e jor. No amount is small.”
In a new video, Osoba expressed gratitude to those who supported her first surgery and urged continued assistance to cover the cost of the next operation. Her appeal has sparked widespread support from fans and colleagues alike, as the Nollywood community comes together to help one of its own.
