The Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation has settled all medical expenses of the renowned ailing Nollywood actor, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr. Ibu.
This was made known in a statement shared on the Foundation’s Facebook page.
LEADERSHIP reports that the comic actor had earlier in the week appealed to Nigerians to come his aid as he risked amputation of his legs over an undisclosed ailment.
However, the Foundation, in the statement, said: “The Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation is honoured to have extended support to Mr John Okafor also known as Mr. Ibu, a renowned comedic icon who has graced our screens and brought joy and laughter to countless homes over the past four decades.
“When we learned of his recent health challenges and the financial burdens associated with his medical treatment, we felt a deep sense of responsibility to assist in any way we could. We promptly paid off his entire medical expenses as of Wednesday.
“We encourage everyone who can to come forward and assist in any capacity, whether it’s through financial contributions, moral support, or prayers.
