Sunday, December 3, 2017, marked the beginning of a recovery
journey for veteran actor and broadcaster, Sadiq Daba, as he waited with some
friends to board a plane to the UK to commence his treatment.
The picture was posted by Soni Irabor, as the ailing actor
was seen surrounded by well-wishers at the international airport.
“We pray for his healing and God’s special favours for him,”
wrote Irabor on Twitter.
“Thank you Nigerians for making this possible.”
Daba, who made acting fame with his role as Bitrus on NTA’s
now rested soap opera – Cock Crow At Dawn – had been treating leukaemia and
prostate cancer.
On November 29, 2017, President of Women Arise, Dr Joe
Okei-Odumakin, also shared the progress of the actor, when they visited the
High Commission, for biometric data.
The actor was accompanied by his wife Mrs Mobolaji and Dr.
Odumakin.
“We were at the High Commission for biometric. Second day Sadiq has been on his feet. And
the good news is that we have gotten visa for him and he is set to leave and
commence treatment.
“To the thousands of Nigerians, who rendered us their help,
we say a big thank you.”
Also, joining in the fund drive to assist Daba was Senator
Dino Melaye, representing Kogi West Senatorial district, who on Saturday
reportedly gifted the actor one million naira.
In a message, Daba
wrote, ” “His countless blessings are yours, you came and out of the goodness
of your heart gave out a MILLION NAIRA towards towards my treatment…You will be
replenish in abundance in Jesus Almighty name!!!”
