In a recent update from the family of actor John Okafor, famously known as Mr. Ibu, it has been disclosed that he had to undergo seven successful surgeries, including the amputation of one of his legs, in order to save his life.
The statement, posted on the actor's Instagram page, expressed gratitude to all those who have supported him financially during this challenging time. The family acknowledged that this situation has been incredibly tough but necessary to ensure Mr. Ibu's survival.
They continue to seek support from well-meaning Nigerians, as he remains in a delicate condition, and they appreciate the outpouring of assistance. Mr. Ibu intends to personally thank his supporters once he stabilizes.
The statement read, “Good afternoon, Nigerians. We want to appreciate everyone who 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.
“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, at this stage, Daddy is still very delicate, 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 him during this period as soon as he’s stable.”
