Nollywood actors are seeking immediate funds to support the treatment of a colleague Ikechukwu Nweke, who is diagnosed with colon cancer.
According to them, the cost involved in the treatment was pressing and needed immediate funds to sustain his life.
The news about Nweke’s medical condition broke the internet on Friday, July 10, 2026, when videos of the members of the Nigerian film community went viral seeking financial assistance.
In the video, his fellow actors described the urgency of the situation and called on fans, well-wishers, and Nigerians at large to contribute financially to help save his life.
This comes after the Nollywood industry lost one of its prominent stars, Alexx Ekubo, who passed away after battling advanced metastatic kidney cancer.
