By Akinwale Kasali

Chukwuemeka Ani,  veteran Actor, known for his commitment, zeal, enthusiasm and passion when interpreting his role in Nollywood films has, sadly, been bedridden for months now.

Ani is currently battling severe health conditions, and he is down with “Chronic sore of the Anus and Diabetes.” His condition has drained his resources,  forcing him to resort to soliciting for financial support from Nigerians to continue with medical treatment.

The ailing actor has been at Dr. Lugard Hospital in Owerri, Imo state, since the 7th of December 2020.

The cost of his treatment is put at about N2.8 million, which the actor can’t afford alone at the moment, prompting him to seek help from colleagues and well-meaning Nigerians.

While speaking from his sickbed, Ani said: I’ve been in this hospital since 7th of December, for a major surgery and at the end of the surgery it expanded to a very dangerous one.

“I’m soliciting help from my people, my members, my friends, well wishers, and those that love me so much”.

Ani added that: “The bill is too much, I cannot carry it alone. Your contribution will go a long way to pay for the bill. I’m still taking medication in the hospital.

He noted that some members of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, have come to visit him, and have promised to do something to assist.

He said: “I thank you all, for those who have contributed I thank you, for those who have not, I also thank you. I know I shall join you soon on set to continue to shoot.”
