"Somebody I Had Helped In The Past Poisoned Me" - Mr. Ibu Discloses

 

Nigerian actor, John Ikechukwu Okafor popularly known as Mr. Ibu has revealed how the person he helped in the past poisoned him.

The comedian who is still receiving treatmen, in an interview with Sunday Scoop, stated that the government should come to the aid of actors to protect them because as actors, they are serving them.

“These days, I am usually skeptical because I later found out that it was somebody I had helped in the past (who poisoned me).”

“If not for God, the result would have been bad. As I speak with you now, I am still being treated somewhere in Guzape, Abuja.”

“I expect the Federal Government to act on this. Whether we like it or not, we (actors) are serving the government. The movies we make are for the benefit of the general public. If the government wants to better protect us, they can do it,” he said.

Mr. Ibu, speaking to Saturday Beats after being poisoned for the third time in about three years disclosed that he didn't know how he was poisoned.

"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 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.”
