Nollywood actress Ajara Lasisi, widely known as Aunty Ajara, remains in critical condition in hospital, prompting a public plea for assistance from her colleague, actor Adeniyi Johnson. The actress is battling a severe health crisis and is dependent on medical oxygen, while friends and industry colleagues call for urgent support to help cover her medical expenses.
The situation became public on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, when actor Adeniyi Johnson shared a video of the actress from her hospital bed. The footage shows Lasisi in visible distress, struggling to breathe while receiving medical support. Industry sources confirmed that she has been hospitalized for an undisclosed period as her condition continues to fluctuate.
In his appeal, Johnson stated:
“She is still fighting for her life.”
He further added:
“We have spent a lot, but her condition is still very critical. Please, we need your support.”
The specific nature of the illness has not been disclosed by her family or medical team. However, in the viral clip, the actress was heard pleading for help in Yoruba while struggling with her breathing apparatus.
“Please help me,” she said repeatedly in the video.
Aunty Ajara is a well-known figure in the Yoruba film industry, recognized for her unique physical stature and comedic performances. Her hospitalization follows a period of professional activity, including a recent public tribute to her late mother.
As of Thursday morning, her colleagues continue to circulate a dedicated bank account to centralize donations toward her medical bills. No official statement has been released regarding a possible transfer to a specialist medical facility.
