Veteran actor and musician, Harry B Anyanwu, has called on Nollywood stakeholders and Nigerians to come to the aid of actress Maureen Okpoko, who is reportedly battling vision loss.
Anyanwu made the appeal in a video posted on X on Monday after paying a visit to the veteran actress in Enugu State.
According to him, Okpoko needs financial support to undergo medical treatment that could help her regain her sight.
The actor urged members of the film industry, as well as other well-meaning individuals, to contribute towards her treatment and support her recovery.
“I am right here in Enugu with my sister of inestimable value, Maureen Okpoko. Nollywood, let’s reach out to her and support her. She’s blind, but she can restore her sight,” Anyanwu said.
He noted that with adequate support, the actress could have a chance of recovering her vision and improving her quality of life.
Okpoko is widely recognised in Nollywood for her roles in numerous films and her long-standing contribution to the growth of the Nigerian movie industry.
