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 “seeing people on the other side” but God brought him back
to life.

He said, “My 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 ‘Whatever you are going to do,
please, do it, let me live because if I die like this the enemies will laugh’.
And then the doctors said ‘Okay, there’s no problem’.

 “At the time, I
didn’t know what happened. I left! So, whatever I was saying they recorded it.
I was saying something like somebody who is going mad. I wasn’t actually seeing
anybody. But on the other side where I was at that time, I was seeing some dead
people.. God brought me back.”

He said his enemies were happy about his illness and thought
he wouldn’t make it but God brought him back to life.

The actor said his sickness taught him a “big lesson”,
adding that he is surprised that he is still alive.
