Legendary Nollywood actor, John Okafor, fondly known as Mr Ibu, has reportedly passed away at age 62.
The actor lost one of his legs last year in a bid to stay alive.
The actor died at Evercare Hospital in Lagos on Saturday, March 2, 2024, according to multiple reports online, but his family is yet to release an official statement.
The public remained unaware of the severity of the actor’s health issues until he celebrated his 62nd birthday in October 2023 visibly in discomfort in a hospital room.
His family revealed he was struggling with clotting of the blood in his leg and other health challenges posing risk to his life. After seven surgical operations, one of the actor’s legs was amputated in a bid to save his life.
