The family of Nigerian rapper, Eedris Abdulkareem, have called on Nigerians for financial support and prayers as the singer is set to undergo kidney transplant in Lagos.
The Nigeria Jaga Jaga crooner had revealed that he has been on dialysis following a recent kidney failure diagnosis via his Instagram page on Wednesday.
According to Eedris Abdulkareem, a family member had offered to donate their kidney to him for the procedure which will occur later in July 2022.
The statement read in part, “The Nigerian Hip Hop Czar, Social Crusader and Rights Activist, Eedris Abdulkareem of ‘Nigeria Jaga Jaga’ fame, needs the sincere and unalloyed prayers of all Nigerians and his fans around the world in this hour of his travails.
“The Lakreem Entertainment Inc. Boss has recently been diagnosed with kidney failure and has been undergoing dialysis since the detection at a reputable hospital here in Lagos, Nigeria.
“The date for the transplant surgery is now fixed for the end of this month, July, and all arrangements and texts have been concluded, including certifying the compatibility status of the gracious donor (a family member).
