Less than 24 hours after the demise of Quadri Oyebamiji popularly known as Sisi Quadri, another Veteran Nollywood Actor, John Okafor with the moniker, Mr Ibu is dead.
The Comic Actor who had undergone surgeries that led to the amputation of his leg finally succumbed to the cold hands of death.
It would be recalled that before his demise, there had been speculations about his demise following his absence from limelight for over three years before the news of him being bedridden went viral.
It would be recalled that in 2019 Mr Ibu alleged that his kinsmen paid some of his domestic workers to poison him because of his successful career.
In May 2022, the comic actor again alleged that he was poisoned for the third time.
In an interview with Vanguard Newspaper, Okafor disclosed that he was already āseeing people on the other sideā but God brought him back to life.
He said, āMy illness was actually perpetrated by people that hate me. They did what they did to me. Later, I was taken to the hospital. The doctors are prophets. So, they went into my system and they told me what was wrong and what they are going to do. I said āWhatever you are going to do, please, do it, let me live because if I die like this the enemies will laughā. And then the doctors said āOkay, thereās no problemā.
āAt the time, I didnāt know what happened. I left! So, whatever I was saying they recorded it. I was saying something like somebody who is going mad. I wasnāt actually seeing anybody. But on the other side where I was at that time, I was seeing some dead people.. God brought me back.ā
He said his enemies were happy about his illness and thought he wouldnāt make it but God brought him back to life.
The actor said his sickness taught him a ābig lessonā, adding that he is surprised that he is still alive.
