The announcement followed the disclosure that Mr. Ibu suffered from a condition that damaged the arteries in his ankle, necessitating seven successful surgeries, one of which involved an amputation.
Mr. Ibu’s manager of more than ten years, Chochoo, reported that the actor is improving with each passing day and responding favorably to treatment.
According to Chochoo, Mr. Ibu’s condition caused damage to one of his ankle arteries, necessitating the amputation.
He stated that the illness was not identified until it had progressed to a dangerous level, necessitating the painful decision to amputate 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,” He said.
He added that although Mr. Ibu is now getting care in Nigeria following the surgery, arrangements are being made to send him overseas for additional care.
“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,” Chochoo added.
