Why Mr Ibu’s leg was amputated- Ex-manager

Emaka Chochoo, the ex-manager of renowned Nollywood actor John Okafor, popularly known as Mr Ibu has disclosed the reason for the amputation of one of the actor’s legs.

Mr. Ibu’s condition, according to Chochoo, caused damage to one of his ankle arteries, prompting amputation.

According to him, the illness was not discovered until it had developed to a critical degree, prompting the agonizing decision to remove the leg.

“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,”
