Sadiq Daba, veteran actor and broadcaster, says he’s not dying from leukaemia despite reports suggesting that his condition may be grave.
Nollywood filmmaker Sunny McDon had on Thursday alerted the public of Daba’s condition in a post on Facebook.
“Dear colleagues and friends in Nollywood. Especially some of us that date back to NTA days. Please put a call to Sadiq Daba. He needs your voice of encouragement now please,” McDon had written.
Consequently, fans of the actor had flooded his social media pages with messages of support as he battles the cancer which affects blood cells.
In response, the Cockcrow At Dawn and NTA star has said his “wonderful” doctors are taking good care of him.
“I am not dead nor dying I!! God has been and will Always be faithful to me and my plight, because that is my covenant with Him,” he wrote in response to a fan’s enquiry on Facebook.
“My doctors have been wonderful and I am responding to treatment. …..my love and thanks to all those who have called to sympathize and empathize with me…..God bless you.”
Daba had a few weeks ago told TheCable Lifestyle that he stopped drinking in 2013 after he was diagnosed with leukaemia.
The interview with Daba is part of an upcoming Legend Series to be published on TheCable Lifestyle.
