Man details Beverly Afaglo's ordeal with cancer
In an emotional Facebook post on Sunday, May 24, 2026, Abu Iddris recounted how Beverly decided to shave her hair for a movie shoot after receiving news of her cancer diagnosis following her visit to the hospital.
He noted that the actress had also informed him that she would begin treatment after working on their movie project.
He wrote:
"You had just returned from the hospital with Ben. We sat on the floor together. Your face was different. I was still wearing my excitement. You smiled — but not your smile. Then you said, “Abu, you got it. I’m cutting my hair.” I lit up."
"Then you said it was partly for the character, but partly because the results had confirmed cancer. You’d cut your hair for the shoot and begin treatment straight after. My excitement collapsed. You said, “Don’t be sad. I’m starting treatment.”
Abu detailed Beverly's struggles on set during their movie production due to her health issues.
He noted that scenes had to be cancelled at times, with the workload reduced for the actress, who got exhausted on set as she battled her health problems.
The director also detailed Beverly's medical treatments in the US and Ghana and her admission to the hospital in the weeks leading to her demise.

He shared how the late movie star could barely move or speak while lying on the hospital bed and how her worsening condition emotionally affected him.
He wrote:
"Then you could barely move. Barely speak. I was there in the small ways I could manage — bringing food to your mouth, steadying you for a few steps."
"I remember the moment you said my name when words had become expensive — just “Abu,” and then a smile. I turned my face away, pushed the tears back, and thought about the hug again."
Abu also spoke about plans to celebrate Beverly's birthday on Thursday, May 28, 2026, days after her untimely demise.
