Reports have it that the leg of ailing veteran Nigerian actor, Tunde Alabi, has been amputated on the strong advice of his doctors.
Tunde Alabi, who thrilled many with his acting skills several years ago, has been battling an ailment at the Lagos General Hospital.
Some weeks ago, pleas were made to Nigerians to come to his rescue through financial donations to treat his leg, which was feared might be surgically removed if nothing urgent was done to it.
But despite the pleas, enough cash was not reportedly made to save the leg and when doctors felt it could cause damage to other parts of his body, he was advised to go for amputation.
A Facebook user named Paul Julius, said, ‘So sad! Our veteran actor’s foot finally AMPUTATED…..I’ve laboured through thick and thin to save the life of Uncle Tunde….assisted vigorously by the indefatigable Chairman of Actors Guild of Nigeria, Lagos State Chapter, Mr DON PEDRO AGANBI and through the contributions of a few spirited colleagues and fans, we were only able to manage to keep him alive but not with his full body as our once vibrant UNCLE TUNDE ALABI loses his right foot today at General Hospital, Lagos to Diabetes Mellitus. Now he’s faced with another battle for survival…..Expensive drugs required to heal the amputated leg……no home to return, no money to afford one as his ailment has suck up his entire finances. We have done our best… …What would you rather do to assist him….just put something in his account no matter how small and the Lord will reward you abundantly. Thank you.
