Nigerian comic actor, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr.
Ibu, has cried out for assistance over a medical condition. In an Instagram
video shared on Wednesday, the veteran actor disclosed he is battling with an illness from a hospital bed.
He revealed he had been down for several weeks and had been
on admission.
He said the doctor advised they might resort to cutting off
his leg if other options are exhausted without no result. Mr Ibu said, “While I am hoping for prayers and assistance, as I speak to you I am still lying down in the hospital. The medical director of this hospital said that in case his new idea does not work, the next idea is to cut off my leg. Just see me, if they cut off my leg where would I go? Pray for me, I don’t want my leg to be cut off, thank you so much, God, bless you.”
His daughter said that she has been sorting out the bills
for as long as the actor has been ill.
She also stressed that the family would prefer to fly him out of the country for better treatment.
Okafor’s wife and daughter, in the video, appealed to
Nigerians to pray for them and lend financial assistance.
