“The Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation has fully covered the medical expenses of the renowned Nollywood actor, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr. Ibu.

“When we learned of his recent health challenges and the financial burdens associated with his medical treatment, we felt a deep sense of responsibility to assist in any way we could. We promptly paid off his entire medical expenses as of Wednesday.

“We encourage everyone who can to come forward and assist in any capacity, whether it’s through financial contributions, moral support, or prayers.

“We wish him a swift and complete recovery.”

This act of kindness comes just days after Mr. Ibu made a plea for prayers as he battles an undisclosed illness that may necessitate the amputation of his legs.

The actor, who did not disclose the nature of the illness, expressed the risk of losing his leg if the prescribed treatment does not yield positive results.
