Nigerian comic actor, John Okafor, aka Mr. Ibu, has undergone another leg amputation and is barely able to talk.
The actor is said to have undergone another surgery, cutting off part of the same leg that was initially amputated last month.
The National President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria,AGN, Dr. Emeka Rollas, gave an update on the health of the ailing actor in a telephone chat with a reporter.
"As I speak with you, Mr Ibu hardly talks again and he has undergone another leg amputation."
The condition of the ailing actor is said to have continued to deteriorate with each passing day.
According to the family, the initial amputation proved insufficient to resolve his health challenges, leading to a subsequent amputation on the same leg.
The family also refuted claims attributing Mr. Ibu’s illness to diabetes disclosing that the actor has been contending with clotting of the blood in his leg, attributed to diseased blood vessels.
They revealed that the only reason why the family has not flown him out of the country to date is that the doctors have tagged him ‘Not Fit to Fly’.
Quick recovery Mr Ibu.
