Famous Nollywood actor John Okafor, also referred to as Mr. Ibu, is pleading with people for help as he battles a sickness that may require the amputation of one of his legs.
In a video posted to his Instagram page and seen by 1Family Radio, the veteran actor revealed that he had been hospitalized for a few weeks.
In the video, Mr. Ibu stated that his doctors had warned him that if he failed to comply with his treatment plan, he might lose his limb.
He asked the public for prayers and financial support, and he disclosed his account number.
The necessity to make a public appeal stems from their financial predicament, according to his daughter, Jasmine Okafor.
At the hospital, the actor also commemorated turning sixty-two years old.
The actor is shown in a hospital gown alongside his wife, kids, and other close family members in a video that has gone viral on Mr. Ibu’s Instagram account.
A birthday cake was set out on a table in honor of Mr. Ibu, who was the focus of their celebration.
Jasmine Okafor, in a post on Instagram, said, “Happy birthday, daddy. It breaks my heart that we are celebrating you today from the hospital bed. My greatest wish today is that God crown you with divine healing, good health, and many more happy years.’’
“These last two weeks, you have had a good fight, and you are still standing tall. We are here for you! Victory assured. Speedy recovery, papa,’’ she added.
