Nollywood actress Atinuke Kareem has died after a long struggle with breast cancer, her colleagues announced on Tuesday. The Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria, Ogun State Chapter, formally confirmed her passing through an Instagram post from Executive Governor of TAMPAN Ogun State, Owolabi Ajasa.
Kareem, in a heartfelt video, expressed her gratitude for the support received from TAMPAN and called upon Nigerians to contribute toward her medical expenses, as she has two young children. The association also thanked fans, well-wishers, and those who provided financial and moral support during the actress's medical ordeal, acknowledging that their kindness made a significant difference.
Unfortunately, despite these efforts, Atinuke has now joined the Almighty, and her family and colleagues are left to accept this loss as God's will. The tragedy of her death falls just days after another tragedy struck the Yoruba film industry, with veteran actor Taiwo Hassan, also known as Ogogo, succumbing to stage-four cancer.
