Ailing Nigerian comic actor, John Okafor, aka Mr. Ibu, has undergone another leg amputation and is barely able to talk, the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has revealed, while calling for prayers and support for the veteran.
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.
Akelicious had on November 6 reported that the family of Mr. Ibu revealed that the actor 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.
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.”
