BREAKING: Mr Ibu Now Legless After Undergoing Another Amputation
Popular comic actor, John Okafor aka Mr. Ibu, is now without legs, after undergoing yet another leg amputation, and is barely able to talk, as revealed by the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN).
On November 6, it was reported that Mr. Ibu had undergone seven surgeries but to keep his hope of staying alive, one of his legs was amputated.
The family had said the actor successfully underwent five surgeries and would be flown abroad for further treatment soon.
The AGN National President, Dr. Emeka Rollas, in a chat with newsmen, said as the association was monitoring Ibu’s case, it was also concerned about the deteriorating health of another veteran actor, Amaechi Muonagor, who’s currently hospitalised at the Nnamdi Azikwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi, Anambra State, for over two months.
Speaking with Vanguard, the AGN president gave an update, “We are resigning to fate concerning the two actors. As I speak with you, Mr Ibu hardly talks again and he has undergone another leg amputation.”
“You will shed tears if you see Amaechi Muonagor now, his legs are completely paralyzed. I’m calling on all fans and well wishers of the actor to join hands with other philanthropic Nigerians to support him in this dire time,” Rollas said.
He further disclosed that he had approved the sum of N250,000 to be sent to the ailing actor’s account from the AGN Trust Fund, acknowledging it was not enough.
Rollas, however, urged young actors to endeavour to sign up for the AGN HMO and Insurance programmes.
