The leg of Nigerian comedian and actor Mr. Ibu, who was admitted to the hospital a few weeks ago, has been amputated. The loss or removal of a body component is known as amputation.
The actor’s leg was amputated in order to save his life, according to a statement from his family.
“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,” read a portion of the assertion.
The actor’s seven successful surgeries were disclosed in further detail in the statement.
“… 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.”
The family persisted in pleading for assistance.
“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.”
The actor posted a video in mid-October pleading for assistance.
“Dear Good people of Nigerian, we are counting on your support at this point we need it the most Access Bank 1685687982 John Ikechukwu Okafor.
As I speak to you, I am still lying down in the hospital; the medical director of this hospital said that the best solution is, in case his new idea didn’t work, the best idea is to cut off my leg.”
