Nollywood actor John Okafor, often known as Mr. Ibu, is afraid of losing his limb.
The actor revealed in a video appeal for public support that he is battling a condition that could result in one of his legs being amputated.
Mr Ibu claims he has been in the hospital for several weeks. The actor claims in a video uploaded on social media that he needs prayers and financial aid from the public since doctors have advised him that he requires quick treatment or risk losing his limb.
His daughter, Jasmine Okafor, who also talked in the video, stated that they have ran out of funds, necessitating the public appeal.
