Life of celebrated hip-hop singer and Nollywood actress, Annie Idibia, shaved her hair in a bid to create awareness for breast cancer and the importance of early detection through regular check-ups.

The month of October is dedicated for the campaign against cancer and since the beginning of the month, several campaigns have been organised for cancer awareness.

The likes of Chioma Akpota, Omoni Oboli, Halima Abubakar, Chidinma Ekile and many others have participated in campaigns for cancer.

Annie, as part of her own contribution, shaved her hair.

 

She noted that, “Recent studies have shown that 20 percent of breast cancer is discovered by self examination rather than mammography and we must realise that cancer is not a respecter of persons. It could happen to anyone, even I Annie Idibia.
