Popular Nigerian actor, John Okafor, widely recognized as Mr. Ibu, has been advised to undergo a medical procedure involving the amputation of two toes due to complications arising from diabetes.
This revelation comes from Mr. Ibu’s close friend and former manager, Chochoo, who seeks to dispel persistent rumors of the actor’s death circulating online for the past two months.
Clarifying the situation, Chochoo emphasizes that Mr. Ibu is still alive and has decided to follow medical advice by undergoing the suggested surgical procedure to address his ongoing health challenges.
The decision to amputate two toes was not taken lightly; it came after consultations with medical experts who concluded that diabetes had severely affected these toes and posed a risk of further deterioration. Contrary to baseless online speculations about potentially losing an entire leg, the medical professionals recommended a focused approach to preserve Mr. Ibu’s overall health.
Chochoo states, “He has been dying online for about two months now. I don’t know where they are getting the news from because online he is already dead, but offline he is still alive. He is having another operation either today or tomorrow morning. I was his former manager, but we are still very close. Online he is dead already, but he is very much alive in reality. He has had some complications based on his health, but this time he is battling with diabetes. Contrary to reports online that they want to cut off his leg, the doctors advised him to cut off two toes because they have been affected by the illness and were getting rotten.”
