Veteran Nollywood actor, John Okafor alias Mr Ibu, has publicly solicited prayers and assistance from Nigerians as he battles an undisclosed illness in a Lagos hospital.
Addressing fans in a clip posted on his verified Instagram page, the comic act admitted that his legs may be amputated, a decision, he said he was unwilling to submit to.
Okafor’s wife and daughter, who also appealed to the public in the video, said the actor had been down for the past two weeks.
Acknowledging the financial constraints on them, Mr Ibu’s daughter appealed to well meaning Nigerians, to offer financial assistance that would ensure that the actor gets better treatment, possibly abroad.
