Reports from the hospital indicated that Hafsat is in dire need of urgent brain tumour surgery to save her life, her elder sister, Aishat Abdulhamid told journalists that the journalist has been sick for at least four years.

“She had sought medical help at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBUTH) but her condition kept deteriorating,” her sister who now wheels her around told Journalists.

According to her, “She has really suffered a lot. We have spent all our savings. Friends, family and colleagues have really tried to support us as well.

“She had surgery last year with the intervention of the Bauchi State Government where the tumour was evacuated and was recovering at home.”

The sister added, “We are currently at the JUTH. We were told that she had to undergo another emergency surgery. As we speak, for more than a week, she cannot eat, talk and walk. The consultant told us that she will have the operation this week.

“We appeal to Nigerians to assist us, may God bless you.”

Hafsat is appealing for financial assistance from well-meaning Nigerians to undergo an emergency brain tumour surgery.
