The actor had been battling health issues in October 2023, and undergone multiple surgeries that led to the amputation of his  leg  . However, updates from his family in November
indicated he was recovering.

The news of his death comes less than 24 hours after the demise of Quadri Oyebamiji
popularly known as Sisi Quadri, another Veteran Nollywood Actor.

In 2019, Mr Ibu alleged that his
kinsmen paid some of his domestic workers to poison him because of his
successful career.

In May 2022, the comic actor again alleged that he was
poisoned for the third time.

 

In an interview with Vanguard Newspaper, Okafor disclosed
that he was already “seeing people on the other side” but God brought him back
to life.

 

He said, “My illness was actually perpetrated by people that
hate me. They did what they did to me. Later, I was taken to the hospital. The
doctors are prophets. So, they went into my system and they told me what was
wrong and what they are going to do. I said ‘Whatever you are going to do,
please, do it, let me live because if I die like this the enemies will laugh’.
And then the doctors said ‘Okay, there’s no problem’.

 “At the time, I
didn’t know what happened. I left! So, whatever I was saying they recorded it.
I was saying something like somebody who is going mad. I wasn’t actually seeing
anybody. But on the other side where I was at that time, I was seeing some dead
people.. God brought me back.”

 

He said his enemies were happy about his illness and thought
he wouldn’t make it but God brought him back to life.
