Responding to calls for financial assistance for the ailing policewoman behind the viral clip ‘Epp me,’ the acclaimed singer Asake has generously donated N5 million to Helen Utabor.
Helen, the policewoman behind the widely recognized “epp me epp me, he dey carry me go where I no know” trend, is currently facing health challenges.
The news surfaced when popular comedian I Go Save shared a video on his Instagram page, revealing that the officer had been injured by a vehicle while directing traffic in Edo.

In a recent update, I Go Save informed fans that Asake had heeded the call for assistance, transferring N5 million into her account and providing screenshots of the transactions as evidence.
