Veteran Kannywood actor, Abdullahi Shuaibu popularly known as Karkuzu has called for public assistance as he battles blindness and hunger.
The actor has been sick since December 2020.
Speaking to Daily Trust, Karkuzu said:
“I am now blind as I am talking to you. I seriously need financial assistance. I don’t have food to eat and feed my family.
“The house I have been living in is now for sale. If they sell this house, I don’t know where to go. That is why I am soliciting help from well-meaning Nigerians to come to my aid. At least Nigerians should help me buy this house I am living in.
“I have been under the knife twice, but finally the doctors said it is glaucoma, and that I will never see again. I have accepted that as my destiny. But Nigerians should kindly help me. Get me this house, and some food.”
Shuaibu made his debut in the Hausa entertainment industry in the 1980s with his popular drama Karkuzu na Bodara which earned him the nickname Karkuzu.
