The Nigerian entertainment industry has lost its fair share of worthy talents due to ill health and lack of funds to adequately treat them.

Sometimes, the celebrities who end up in such conditions are veterans in the industry who have become old and abandoned as they are no longer in the spotlight and cannot afford expensive healthcare.

Despite that, some veterans in the entertainment industry have been lucky to get adequate help after well-meaning Nigerians rally round and support them financially for them to get proper treatment.

Legit.ng has gathered the report of veteran Nollywood actor, Sadiq Daba, who is reportedly in a very bad shape as a result of his worsening health.
