Nollywood actor John Okafor, popularly known as Mr Ibu, has died at the age of 62.
His death was confirmed by the national president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria Emeka Rollas Ejezie on Saturday evening.
According to Ejezie, Mr Ibu had a cardiac arrest sometime on Saturday.
“I announce with deep sense of grief that Mr Ibu didn’t make it,” he said in an Instagram post.
The actor had been battling health issues before his death on Saturday and publicly sought financial aid to pay his medical bills.
His family disclosed last November that one of his legs was amputated to enhance his chances of survival.-Guardian.ng
