Veteran Nollywood actor, John Okafor, also known as Mr. Ibu, has suffered a big loss following the amputation of one of his legs.
The actor’s daughter Jazmine, on behalf of the Okafor family, made this known in a post on her father’s Instagram page on Monday. She stated that Mr. Ibu underwent seven successful surgeries, but one of his legs had to be amputated to keep him alive and aid his recovery process.
However, she appreciated everyone who had come through for the family in their time of need.

“We want to appreciate everyone that has come through for our dad, saying we are grateful is an understatement and only the good Lord can thank you all enough for every help you’ve rendered,” the post read. “As of 1 pm, noon today, Daddy has gone through 7 successful surgeries but to keep him alive and increase his chances of recovery one of his legs had to be amputated.. This development has been hard on us all but we’ve had to accept it as Daddy’s new reality to keep him alive.
“Please we are still soliciting support from well-meaning Nigerians as this stage Daddy is still one very delicate one and he needs all the help he can get.
“Thank you everyone, the Okafor family is grateful and we don’t take you for granted. In due time daddy will personally acknowledge everyone who supported during this period as soon as he’s stable!”
