SAD! Mr. Ibu undergoes another leg surgery, hardly talks again

The Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, has revealed that ailing Nollywood artist, John Okafor, aka Mr Ibu, has undergone another leg removal and is barely able to communicate while requesting prayers and assistance for the veteran.

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.”
