The limb amputation of legendary Nollywood actor John Okafor, also referred to as Mr. Ibu, has been verified by his daughter Jasmine Okafor.
The actor had his leg amputated, according to a story from VeryDarkMan not too long ago.
He said that even though a lot of people had donated money and fought hard to keep his leg from being amputated, the dreaded result nevertheless happened.
He said that the singer had been misled by close friends, relatives, and acquaintances who had taken advantage of his illness and left him in need of help.
He has undergone seven successful surgeries, and one of his legs had to be amputated in order to increase his chances of recovery, according to a press release that Jasmine placed on her Instagram page to confirm it.
They had to accept his new reality even though she says they have had a terrible time adjusting to it.
