March 03, (THEWILL) – Nigerian comic actor, John Okafor, aka Mr Ibu, is not dead, but currently receiving treatment in a Lagos hospital, his adopted son, Monday Diamond Ani, said on Saturday night.

Earlier, Mr Ibu was reported dead after he suffered a major cardiac arrest at the EverCare hospital in Lagos, where he had been hospitalised.

But Ani, who is also a former aide to the legendary actor, said his father is in a critical condition at the intensive care unit of the hospital.


My Boss and adopted Father aren’t dead, please. He’s currently in a Lagos hospital receiving treatment”, Ani said as he dismissed the reports of Mr Ibu’s death.

The actor battled with constant clotting of blood on his leg (diseased blood vessels) and other health challenges for years. In October 2023, he came out publicly to seek financial assistance to treat his ailment.

During his treatment, his leg was amputated in November 2023.

Born October 17 1961, Mr hailed from Nkanu West local government of Enugu State.

The man don go. Naija wey our hospitals no fit heal gunshot wound, na him person go survive from critical condition? I laugh in undiscovered languages. The boy just corroborated the earlier report. How did Ibu's blood pressure rise after all was said and done? One would think he'd attack exercises in order to see his grandchildren for longer. Sha, when it's your time, it's your time.

Blood clotting is extremely fatal condition but treatable. I pray he scales through without injury to life.

They want to dupe him even in death.

I am actually in deep sorrow typing this because all the years I've been on nairaland I've never for once begged. I never knew I could ever stoop so low to this. The only hope I rely on this week is shattered. I learned my lesson the hard way. I beg you guys with everything you cherish. Pls bless me with any amount. Hunger is about to finish me. I beg you in the name of God
