Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar has announced her retirement from performing following a recent health issue. Through her managers, the actress announced her departure from performing in a post on her verified Instagram account.
“Halima Abubakar quit acting. Rejuvenate and continue healing. We all love you, my sweet sis. We are waiting for you diva,” the post reads.
The actress's siblings criticised Apostle Johnson Suleman, the founder of Omega Fire Ministries International, in September due to her failing health.
In a post on Abubakar’s Instagram story, the family members asked the cleric to stay away from her. The post showed her in a bedridden state.
The actress had also accused the controversial cleric of reneging on his promise to marry her, saying that he was behind the undisclosed life-threatening ailment that had plagued her for years.
She also alleged that Mr. Suleman had sexual affairs with several actresses, including Shan George and Iyabo Ojo, a claim the cleric and his handlers ignored.
Abubakar revealed that she had an affair with the preacher because he told her he was a divorcee with three children.
On Instagram, she said that her life was in danger and that the cleric should be held responsible for whatever happened to her.
Reacting to her accusations, Apostle Suleman, through his lawyers, issued a cease-and-desist notice to the actress.
