John Okafor (Mr. Ibu), the ailing Nollywood actor, has returned home after several months in the hospital.
Last October, the renowned actor revealed that he was suffering from a life-threatening illness.
Ibu, who spoke from a hospital bed, also requested financial assistance for her medical condition.
The film star’s plight prompted calls on social media for the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) to help one of its members.
Several people announced their donations to the ailing actor, including the Abubakar Bukola Saraki (ABS) Foundation, which revealed it “paid the entire medical expenses of Ibu”.
On November 6, Ibu’s family confirmed that the actor’s leg had been amputated following seven surgeries. He remained in the hospital, where he had been recovering.
On Sunday, Ken Erics, another Nollywood star, shared an update on Ibu’s recovery after his leg amputation.
In the video, Erics appeared to have visited Mr. Ibu’s residence and sat on one of his couches wearing a brown jalabia.
“Happy Sunday Lovelies ❤️😁 Something to brighten your day,” the film star wrote on Instagram.
