Veteran Nollywood actor, Tunde Alabi has lost his right leg to diabetes after it threatened to wreak more havoc.

There had been calls for support for the thespian who has been bed-ridden for sometime now.

His colleague, Paul Julius made the disclosure, stating that a “few spirited colleagues and fans”, himself and Don Pedro Aganbi, chairman of Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN Lagos chapter did their best.

“I’ve laboured through thick and thin to save the life of Uncle Tunde… 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”, he said.

“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[ed] 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.”

The actor was well-known for his role in ‘Headmaster’ and ‘Palace’.
