Popular Nollywood actor, Tunde Alabi, who has been battling an
ailment at the Lagos General Hospital, has finally got his leg amputated
in the Lagos hospital, despite his plea to well-meaning Nigerians to
come to his rescue.
It was reported that the ‘Village Headmaster’ actor, had
been battling diabetes for years with no treatment because of lack of
money and had been lying critically ill with one of his legs set for
amputation in order to save his life.

The veteran actor had called on Nigerians to support him, saying he
did not want to die. After several months at the hospital, doctors
finally advised that the leg be cut off so it won’t affect other parts
of his body.
A social media user, Paul Julius who posted the photos from the actor's hospital bed, wroted on Facebook;
'So sad! Our Veteran Actor's foot finally AMPUTATED.....I've
laboured through thick and thin to save the life of Uncle
Tunde....assisted vigorously by the indefatigable Chairman of Actors
Guild of Nigeria, Lagos State Chapter, Mr. DON PEDRO AGANBI and through
the contributions of a few spirited colleagues and fans, 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.
Tunde Alabi after his leg was finally amputated
"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 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. Thank you.
