Nollywood actress Cynthia Anijekwu has appealed to Nigerians for financial assistance after revealing that she is battling cancer.
The actress made the appeal in a video that surfaced on social media on Tuesday.
In the video, Anijekwu disclosed that she had been diagnosed with cancer for the second time, adding that the disease has spread to other parts of her body.
She said the cost of treatment has become too expensive and appealed to Nigerians to support her financially.
She said, “I have cancer in 2023 (sic). I did my surgery and took chemotherapy, but later it came back again. I’ve been in and out of the hospital. The doctor recently told me it has reached my bones, and the treatment is now much more expensive,” she said.
“I need to live. I need to survive. I’m asking Nigerians to please help me. Anyone that can help, please, I need help. Even my hands have swollen. The cancer has affected both breasts. I need to live. Please help me. I need to survive.
“Your one naira, your two naira can add up to something reasonable for me to get the proper treatment for this cancer. I’m begging you, please help me.”
