Nigerian comic actor, John Okafor, aka Mr Ibu has reportedly undergone another round of operation on his leg.
The latest surgery is coming after the amputation of one of his legs last month.
His health is said to have relapsed to the point that he hardly talks again.
Also, there are fears over the deteriorating health of another veteran actor, Amaechi Muonagor, who has been hospitalized at Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi, Anambra State, for over two months.
While giving update on the health of the sick actors in a telephone chat, the National President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Dr. Emeka Rollas said, “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.”
Emeka revealed that he has approved the sum of N250,000 to be sent to the ailing actor’s account from the AGN Trust Fund, which, according to him, may not be enough, following Muonagor’s records with the Guild HMO and Insurance policy.
