A video showing ailing actor, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr. Ibu, as he is been taken care of by his adopted daughter, Jasmine has surfaced online.
Jasmine shared the video on her Instagram page Thursday, 10 days after it was announced that the actor had undergone seven successful surgeries, including an amputation of one of his legs.
The 42-second footage detailed how she has been taking care of Mr Ibu since he was admitted to a hospital.
Jasmine captioned the new video, “As long as you are getting better, nothing else matters. I remain silent until you are back on your feet again! Cheers.”
