Nigerian actress Halima Abubakar who is reportedly down due to a prolonged ailment has quit acting.
This was made known by her management in a statement which was shared on her official Instagram account.
She appreciated her fans for their love and prayers and made the announcement to allow her to focus on getting adequate medical attention.
Sharing several photos of Halima, the management wrote, “HALIMA ABUBAKAR QUIT ACTING. WE ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR ALL. WE LOVE YOU ALL. THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT.
“SHE IS SO DOWNCAST. SHE REALLY DID LOVE ACTING. THANK YOU. Rejuvenate and continue healing. We all love you, my sweet sis. We are waiting for you diva.”
Recall that in September, the actress’ siblings called Apostle Suleman over her deteriorating health.
In a post on Ms Abubakar’s Instagram story, the family members asked the cleric to stay away from her. The post showed her in a bedridden state.
Meanwhile, having failed to meet the demands of Mr Suleman, who served her a cease and desist notice through his legal representatives, Ephesus Lex Attorneys & Solicitors, Ms Abubakar was taken to court.
Mr Suleman’s legal representative, Rodney Adzuanaga, said that a writ has been filed against Ms Abubakar seeking several reliefs against her on the cleric’s behalf
“The Chief Justice has to assign the case to a court, after which a date will be scheduled. This usually takes about two weeks. So in the coming weeks, we will start proceedings against her.
“Among other things, we seek a declaration that her publication is defamatory. We are also asking her to tender an unreserved apology and other monetary damages,” he said.
We definitely wish her the very best and a speedy recovery.
