Award-winning Nigerian actress Halima Abubakar has been battling numerous health challenges in recent years.
In a viral February 2025 video, she opened up about her challenges, noting that she had been diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Abubakar said she had undergone three MRI tests in Turkey to get to the bottom of the matter and appealed for support.
Despite her pleas, the actress said that she had received little help, prompting her to make another plea in early 2026.
In a conversation with blogger Odogwu Kiwi TV, she said her health had only worsened since her first appeal for help.
According to her, she had undergone several surgeries already before a recent MRI discovered a tumour in her brain.
"I found out that I have a brain tumour. I have done two or three surgeries now, but I found out through an MRI that I have a tumour in my brain. That is the reason why I can't sleep," she said
Halima Abubakar complained about receiving little help from her colleagues despite her public pleas for help.
"I feel like it has been taking so long. I have been trying my way and doing things to not disturb anybody. I have not worked in a long time, so begging people seems like a big deal right now because only two or three of my colleagues have reached out to me,” she said.
