Nollywood veteran, John Okafor aka Mr. Ibu, is dead.
The actor reportedly passed away at Evercare Hospital in Lagos State, following a protracted battle with illness.
The 62-year-old comic actor had battled health issues that led to the amputation of his two legs.
Reports said he was diagnosed with diseased blood vessels.
His family had solicited funds from Nigerians, saying the actor “had constant clotting of blood in his leg (diseased blood vessels) and other health challenges posing a risk to his life hence the need for the amputation.”
Okafor died barely 24 hours after another Nollywood actor, Quadri Oyebamiji aka Sisi Quadri, also passed on.
