Tope Osoba, the Nollywood actress, has appealed for financial assistance after undergoing her first breast cancer surgery.
Foluke Daramola, Osoba’s colleague, took to Instagram to share the actress’ plight.
According to Daramola, Osoba has already undergone one surgery but requires an additional procedure to remove the remaining particles from her breast. The second surgery is estimated to cost around N12 million.
Daramola shared a video of Osoba’s hospital examination, revealing that the actress has reached out to Bolaji Amusan, president of the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN), for support.
