One of the legs of famous Nollywood comedian/actor, John Okafor, aka Mr Ibu, who is battling with an undisclosed illness, has been amputated.
In a statement released viaInstagram on Monday, the family of Mr. Ibu lamented that after seven successful surgeries, the actor’s leg was amputated “to keep him alive and increase his chances of full recovery”.
The actor’s family appreciated those who have supported him on his road to recovery, calling for more assistance from Nigerians.
“We want to appreciate everyone that has come through for our dad, saying we are grateful is an understatement and only the good Lord can thank you all enough for every help you’ve rendered,” the statement reads in part.
“As of 1:00 pm, today, Daddy has gone through 7 successful surgeries, but to keep him alive and increase his chances of full recovery, one of his legs had to be amputated. This development has been hard on us all but we’ve had to accept it as Daddy’s new reality to keep him alive.
“Please we are still soliciting for support from well-meaning Nigerians as this stage Daddy is, is still a very delicate one and he needs all the help he can get.
“Thank you everyone, the Okafor family is grateful and we don’t take you for granted. In due time, daddy will personally acknowledge everyone who supported him during this period as soon as he’s stable,” the family further stressed./SHARE THIS
