The family of Nollywood veteran, John Okafor, often known as Mr. Ibu, has raised alarm over the condition of his second leg after one of the legs was amputated few days ago.
His family had, two days ago announced that one of his legs had been amputated to save his life due to severe injury in spite of seven successful surgeries conducted on the leg and financial donations from Nigerians to ensure the leg was saved.
However, while announcing the state of his health, his family expressed concern over the condition of his other leg adding that the remaining leg is in a ‘fragile state.’
They appealed to Nigerians not to abandon the family as the veteran actor still requires all the assistance he can receive because of the fragile condition of the second leg.
“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, ” the family wrote.
“Daddy has gone through seven 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 for support from well-meaning Nigerians as at this stage Daddy’s health is still very delicate as the other leg is in a fragile state and he needs all the help he can get,” the family disclosed.
