Kunle Afod solicits support for actor Opebe amid battle with unknown illness
Veteran actor Opebe's health is significantly declining as tests have failed to diagnose a specific illness, prompting filmmaker Kunle Afod to appeal for public assistance.
- Veteran actor Taiwo "Ogogo" Hassan cannot be transferred from his current hospital, colleagues Jide Kosoko and Yinka Quadri explained on Wednesday, despite receiving hundreds of assistance offers for his stage-four cancer treatment.
- Daughters Kira and Haleemah disclosed the cancer diagnosis about three weeks ago, appealing for specialized medical facilities after an alleged refusal by the hospital to treat their father, Ogogo.
- Over 500 people have offered spiritual or traditional assistance, but Kosoko and Quadri noted that moving the actor is physically too difficult, thanking the public for their intentions.
- On Friday, no fewer than a hundred star actors gathered at the Babajide Olushola Sanwo-Olu Hall in Ikeja, Lagos, to pray for their colleague's recovery.
- Colleagues emphasize that the family is not seeking financial aid but requires specialized medical expertise, while Ogogo remains determined to survive, having repeatedly expressed his desire to live.
