Renowned Nollywood actor, John Okafor, affectionately known as Mr Ibu, has issued a heartfelt plea to the public as he grapples with a severe illness that could potentially result in the amputation of his leg.
In a somber video shared on his Instagram page, the veteran actor disclosed that he has been ailing for several weeks and has remained hospitalized. His health condition is so dire that doctors have cautioned him that amputation may become the only option if all other treatments fail.
Fearing the worst, Mr Ibu has reached out to the public, appealing for prayers and support during this difficult time. He has openly shared his bank account information in hopes of receiving assistance.
Offering additional context to her father’s plea, Jasmine Okafor, Mr Ibu’s daughter, shared that his health has not shown any signs of improvement, and their financial resources have been depleted by the medical expenses. As a result, she implored anyone who could lend a hand in facilitating his treatment abroad to come forward.
This heart-wrenching situation underscores the fragility of life and the pressing need for compassion and support, as fans and loved ones rally around Mr Ibu during his battle to regain his health and avoid the devastating prospect of losing a limb.
