The family of the ailing actor Mr. John Okafor better known as Mr. Ibu has explained the reason why they haven’t taken him abroad for further treatment
They also took time to correct what they perceived as wrong impression about Mr Ibu’s health as it’s been circulated on social media
In the statement released by Valentine Okafor, it was also clearly stated that Mr John Okafor (Mr Ibu) is not suffering from diabetes as been speculated around social media
The statement “We wish to Express our sincere gratitude to well meaning Nigerians and the general public for your immense contributions, physically, spiritually and most above all
financially on getting our daddy Mr John Okafor (Mr tbu) back on his feet again.”
“We wish to correct some misconceptions making rounds on social media concerning the current state of our father’s health.”
“First we will like to state that our daddy wasn’t amputated on both legs but only one. The first amputation didn’t completely correct his health predicament so the doctors had to go ahead to amputate same leg further to ensure we didn’t loose him.”
“Daddy’s cause of sickness is also
not diabetes but he’s had constant
clotting of the blood in his leg
( diseased blood d vessels) and other
health challenges posing risk to his life, therefore the need for the amputation.”
“Lastly, the only reason why the family has not flown him out of the country till date is cause the doctors have tagged him “Not Fit to Fly”. This tag has made it extremely impossible to get him out of the country for advanced treatment as
no airline will fly him.. Daddy is currently admitted at one of the biggest and best hospital we’ve got in Nigeria as of today and the hospital has availed him a pool of very astute professionals.”
“As Daddy is recuperating we urge
his friends, colleagues, fans and
Nigerians at large to keep him in
thier prayers and peddle down on
unconfirmed reports concerning our
dad’s health.”
“Thank you Nigerians you all have
been very supportive this period.
God bless you all
Valatine Okafor
On behalf of the Family…”
