Mr Ibu risks losing his leg, asks Nigerians to help settle medical bills

Mr Ibu's family prefer to fly him out of the country for more treatment.

Popular Nollywood actor, John Okafor, fondly known as Mr Ibu, has been hospitalised lately and is requesting financial aid from Nigerians to settle his medical bills.

In a video posted on his Instagram page on Wednesday, October 18, 2023, the ailing actor lay on the hospital bed explaining that he has been ill for weeks and not responding to treatment.

Weakly, he noted that he is at risk of having his leg amputated if he is unable to receive the proper treatments.

"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," said the actor.
