Esteemed Nollywood actor John Okafor, popularly known as Mr. Ibu, has taken to social media to humbly request financial assistance and prayers while he confronts a challenging health condition.

A few weeks ago, Mr. Ibu's wife, Stella Maris, posted a distressing video in which she was visibly distraught. In this video, she was seen shedding tears while passionately singing a praise and worship song.

Several weeks later, a video emerged online, depicting the veteran actor hospitalized. In the video, Mr. Ibu revealed that he is grappling with an illness that could potentially lead to the loss of his leg.

He earnestly implored the public to offer their prayers and extend financial support to facilitate his necessary medical treatment.

May God have mercy on him
