Mr Ibu Ex Manager, Chochoo, Speaks On Actor’s Condition

The reason behind the actor’s limb amputation has been disclosed by Emeka Chochoo, the former manager of well-known Nigerian actor John Okafor, better known by his stage name Mr. Ibu.

Chochoo claims that the leg amputation was necessary due to an ankle artery infection that was not identified in time.

The actor underwent seven successful operations, including the amputation of one leg, as disclosed on Monday.

In a Thursday interview with Punch, Chochoo attested to the fact that the actor was reacting to the medication.

He said, “I was with him up until yesterday. I worked as Mr Ibu’s manager for over a decade.

“He is responding well to treatment; he is gradually healing.

“The doctors are treating everything one after the other. What led to the amputation of one of his legs was an infection that affected one of the arteries at the ankle.

“Blood wasn’t flowing into the leg, which was not detected on time. When it was, it had become too late, causing the doctors to decide on the amputation.

“The surgery was done in Nigeria. He will soon be flown out of the country for further treatment but for now, he is being cared for in Nigeria.”
