John Okafor, called Mr. Ibu, a Nollywood actor, had one of his legs amputated.
Remember that the critically ill actor had requested financial assistance from Nigerians.
However, according to a statement released by his family on Monday, the actor endured seven successful operations and had one of his legs amputated to preserve his life.
The family also appreciated Nigerians’ support, saying they are grateful and adding that “only the good Lord can thank you all enough for every help you’ve rendered”.
The statement added, “As of 1 pm, noon today, Daddy has gone through 7 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 support from well-meaning Nigerians. At this stage, Daddy is still a very delicate one 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 them during this period as soon as he’s stable!”
