Nollywood actress Biola Bayo has passionately appealed to Nigerians on behalf of veteran actress Jumoke George.
Kemi Filani reported that the veteran, in an interview with Biola, revealed that she has been homeless for 5 to 6 years and has been living in her church. According to her, her church’s pastor’s wife has been feeding her.
The movie star further opened up on her deteriorating health as she revealed that she has been in and out of the hospital since January 2nd, and now she is in debt. She said her son has borrowed up to 2 million for her sake, and to make it worse, she has to undergo a brain and heart test and doesn’t have the money.
Reacting to the devastating news, Biola revealed how she received a heart-wrenching message from Jumoke recounting her painful and disheartening situation. According to Bayo, the content of the voice note troubled her heart so much that he couldn’t wait any longer and had to move herself and her crew to where Jumoke George is staying.
Biola said after listening to the story, her heart couldn’t hold the pain. She stated that the veteran desperately needs help, as she called on Nigerians to assist the veteran.
