Mr. Ibu
Contrary to media reports that Nollywood comic actor, John Okafor, a.k.a. Mr Ibu, has been down with stroke, the actor has rebutted trending stories
The social media were awash on Thursday with reports that the 57-year-old comic cum actor was hit by a mysterious stroke shortly after he returned from a trip to Owerri.
The President of Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Emeka Rollas, was even quoted as saying that ‘the actor was fast recovering.’
The development generated deep concerns from industry watchers, especially fans of the actor, calling for prayers and support for him.
However, in a latest video published on his Instagram Page, Mr Ibu, who is seen ‘loving up with his wife’, flayed the stroke report, saying he has handed those peddling the rumour to God.
Said he: “Oh God! People are saying that I have stroke that I am down with stroke, why?
“How can you announce somebody’s sickness and you have many, you don’t even announce one.
“I don’t have any stroke please. This is my wife, my humble wife. Well, we hand over everything to God.”
