Popular Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar who has been away from the country for a while has undergone a successful fibroid removal surgery in India.

The 31-year-old screen diva took to her Instagram page and shared a photo from the surgery and also wrote about the disease which almost claimed her life.

She wrote; "Myomectomy is an operation to remove fibroid tumours (myomas) from the uterus. This retains the uterus, and is an alternative treatment to hysterectomy. It is sometimes a more difficult operation than hysterectomy but preserves reproductive choice for the patient."
