Chochoo, a former manager to Nollywood actor, John Okafor popularly known as Mr Ibu has debunked rumours over the actor’s death.
Dockaysworld reports that the comic actor in a video on his hospital bed pleaded with Nigerians for medical assistance over his health condition.
Celebrities and well-meaning Nigerians have rallied round by contributing funds to help Mr Ibu get back on his feet.
Giving an update on her father’s health, Mr Ibu’s daughter, Jasmine said the actor had undergone two major surgeries but they still need more money.
Multiple reports surfaced online suggesting that the actor had given up the ghost.
While refuting the rumours, Chochoo said, the actor has been declared dead online multiple times over the past two months, despite being alive offline.
“He has been dying online for about two months now. I don’t know where they are getting the news from because online he is already dead, but offline he is still alive. He is having another operation either today or tomorrow morning. I was his former manager, but we are still very close. Online he is dead already, but he is very much alive in reality
He has had some complications based on his health, but this time he is battling with diabetes. Contrary to reports online that they want to cut off his leg, the doctors advised him to cut off two toes because they have been affected by the illness, as they were getting rotten.”
