Veteran Actor Undergoes 2nd Leg Amputation 

According to the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) John Okafor, better known as Mr Ibu, recently underwent a second leg amputation. This comes after his first leg was amputated in August. Mr Ibu’s condition has worsened, and he is currently struggling to speak.

Dr Emeka Rollas, the President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, shared this information in an interview with the media.

The AGN is very worried about the health of two of its members, Mr Ibu and Amaechi Muonagor, who are both suffering from serious health conditions.

Maunagor has been hospitalized at the Nnamdi Azikwe University Teaching Hospital in Anambra State for over two months.

The actor’s condition has worsened to the point where he’s a shadow of his former self.

Mr Ibu’s family previously stated that the actor underwent multiple surgeries, but in order to give him the best chance of survival, one of his legs had to be amputated.

They are currently making plans to send him abroad for further treatment.

Speaking with Vanguard, the AGN president gave an update, “We are resigning to fate concerning the two actors. As I speak with you, Mr Ibu hardly talks again and he has undergone another leg amputation.”

“You will shed tears if you see Amaechi Muonagor now, his legs are completely paralyzed. I’m calling on all fans and well wishers of the actor to join hands with other philanthropic Nigerians to support him in this dire time,” Rollas said.

Dr Rollas however, approved a grant of 250,000 Naira from the AGN Trust Fund to help with Mr Ibu’s medical expenses.

He acknowledged that this amount is not nearly enough to cover all of the actor’s needs.

Dr Rollas encouraged young actors to sign up for the health insurance programs offered by the AGN.

He noted that this is important not only for Mr Ibu’s situation, but for all actors who may face health challenges in the future.
