Veteran Nigerian actor, Tom Njemanze, has appealed to the general public for financial assistance in his battle with cancer.
The actor, who is currently receiving treatment in hospital, made the plea on Tuesday in a viral video circulating on the internet.
Sharing the video on his Instagram page, filmmaker Stanley Ontop revealed that Njemanze has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and urgently requires funds for surgery.
He said, “Hello guys, one of our Nollywood legends is sick and needs urgent surgery.
“Sir Tom Njamanze has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and he needs your support to undergo surgery. Nothing is too small, fams. Help our legend live again.”
Media Talk Africa reports that Njemanze is known for his performances in Issakaba, Tokunboh, Atosa, Pounds and Dollars, Osuofia in London, Igbotic Love, and Brain Box.
This comes just four months after fellow veteran actor, John Amaefule, appealed for financial assistance amid his battle with partial stroke and cancer.
