Mr Ibu's Daughter, Jasmine, Confirms His Leg Amputation as He Undergoes 7 Successful Surgeries

Jasmine Okafor, the daughter of veteran actor John Okafor, popularly known as Mr Ibu, has confirmed that his leg has been amputated.

A few minutes ago, it was reported by Social media activist, Very Dark Man, that the veteran actor’s leg had been amputated.

Very Dark Man revealed that the actor’s family, friends, and loved ones had betrayed him by taking advantage of his illness and abandoning him when he needed help.

According to Very Dark Man, the actor’s family informed him that his leg had been amputated.

In a press statement on her Instagram page, Jasmine confirmed that one of her father’s legs had to be amputated to improve his chances of recovery. She also mentioned that he has undergone 7 successful surgeries.

Jasmine expressed that this has been a difficult situation for them, but they had to accept her father’s new reality in order to keep him alive.

“Good afternoon, Nigerians… We want to express our appreciation to everyone who has supported our dad. Just saying we are grateful is an understatement, and only the good Lord can thank you all enough for the assistance you have rendered.”

“As of 1 p.m. today, Daddy has gone through 7 successful surgeries. However, in order to keep him alive and improve his chances of recovery, one of his legs had to be amputated. This has been a challenging time for us all, but we have had to accept it as Daddy’s new reality to ensure his survival.”

“We are still seeking support from well-meaning Nigerians, as Daddy is currently in a very delicate stage and he needs all the help he can get.”

“Thank you, everyone. The Okafor family is grateful, and we do not take your support for granted. Daddy will personally acknowledge everyone who supported him during this period as soon as he is stable!”

“For future donations and support, please send to:

Thank you.”

This news comes just a few days after he provided an update on his health, revealing that he had undergone 5 successful surgeries.

In an appreciation post to the public, he stated that he is still recovering in the ICU and awaiting stabilization before he can travel abroad for further advanced treatment.

Last month, it was reported by NewsNow that Mr Ibu, who is currently hospitalized, had requested help from the public as he battled an illness that could lead to amputation.

Nigerian music sensations Davido and P-Square, along with popular personality Tunde Ednut, had offered to cover the medical expenses of the legendary actor.

Former Senate President Bukola Saraki had also cleared his medical bills through his foundation.
