Veteran Nollywood actor, John Okafor better known as Mr Ibu, has revealed that he is currently in the hospital because he was poisoned.
The comic actor, who hilariously posited that ‘it seems his enemies are using him to rehearse’ (their powers), admitted that it is the third time he is being poisoned.
Speaking with the PUNCH from his hospital bed, Ibu said: “I just got poisoned again. It seems my enemies are using me to rehearse (their powers). This time, I wasn’t poisoned in the village. I was poisoned in Abuja last week at an entertainment event. I really cannot explain how I was poisoned because it was a gathering of people, though it was not a big event.
“I am recuperating, although I have neither worked out nor driven since I got ill. However, I intend to take a walk this (Friday) evening, because I am hopeful that I would get better. I am eating well now, and I’m prepared to go back on set any moment from now.”
The legendary thespian also frowned at those soliciting for funds on his behalf without his consent. This came after his daughter shared a video showing the moment the actor who seemingly has phobia for medicines begged her to help him out with the drugs — fuelling concerns about his health condition.
