Nollywood veteran and comedy icon, John Okafor, (Mr Ibu), is dead.

The actor was said to have passed away at Evercare Hospital in Lagos State after a protracted battle with illness.

Recall that the 62-year old battled health issues that led to the amputation of his two legs.

He was diagnosed with diseased blood vessels.

His family had solicited funds from Nigerians, saying the actor “had constant clotting of the blood in his leg [diseased blood vessels] and other health challenges posing a risk to his life, therefore the need for the amputation.”
