On Sunday, Nollywood actor Ken Erics visited his veteran colleague, John Okafor, Mr Ibu, who returned home after months in hospital.
In October 2023, Mr Ibu revealed he was battling with a life-threatening illness. He spoke from a hospital bed and cried out for financial assistance over his medical condition.
Several people donated for the ailing actor, including the Abubakar Bukola Saraki (ABS) Foundation, which paid all of Mr Ibu’s medical expenses.
But on 6 November 2023, Mr Ibu’s family announced that one of the actor’s legs was amputated after undergoing seven surgeries. Since then, he has remained in the hospital, where he has been recuperating.
The Nigerian actor and comedian was hospitalized a few months ago after he had one of his legs amputated.
A statement from the actor’s family says that his leg was amputated to save his life. Cause of the illness that led to his leg being amputated has still not been disclosed.
Okafor, 62, has starred in dozens of Nollywood films including Keziah, 9 Wives and Mr Ibu in London.
Thank you for another magnificent article. Where else could anyone get that type of information in such an ideal way of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I’m on the look for such info.
