Renowned artist Peter Okoye has shown his solidarity and support for the ailing Nollywood veteran, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr. Ibu. In an Instagram post, Mr. P lauded Mr. Ibu as a figure who has brought joy to the faces of many people and urged the public to provide both financial assistance and prayers for him.
In a heartfelt video, Mr. Ibu and his family made an appeal for donations and prayers to aid the actor. Mr. Ibu disclosed that his doctor had informed him that if additional medical treatments for his condition proved ineffective, he might face the possibility of having his leg amputated. This revelation highlights the seriousness of his health situation and the urgency of support from well-wishers.
Ibu, who was not a believer in this method, requested prayers, bemoaning how his life would be if his leg was amputated.
