Elder sister to the ailing journalist, Aisha Abdulhamid, explained that she developed the disease over two years ago and had been going to the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBUTH) Bauchi earlier but there was no solution to her sickness and she was then referred to JUTH.
“Hafsat suffers much and we spent all our savings to raise money for her treatment but it would not be enough.
“Friends, family and colleagues have also tried. We are told that her new surgery operation will cost the sum of N5 million and we do not have it.
“We therefore seek help from Nigerians to enable us pay for her surgery. As we speak, for more than a week, she cannot eat, talk and walk. The consultant told us that she should have the operation within this week,” the sister stated.
