The family of ailing Nollywood actor, John Okafor, otherwise known as Mr Ibu, has debunked reports that his second leg has been amputated.
The family clarified that Mr Ibu had a second amputation on same leg because the first amputation didn’t completely correct his health predicament.
According to a statement by Valentine Okafor, the veteran actor is battling with blood clotting in his legs and other health challenges posing a risk to his life.
“Daddy’s cause of sickness is also not diabetes but he’s had constant clotting of the blood in his leg ( diseased blood vessels) and other health challenges posing risk to his life , therefore the need for the amputation.”
The family, however thanked Nigerians for showing concern and support.
“Thank you Nigerians you all have been very supportive this period. God bless you all.”
