The Actors Guild of Nigeria affirms its continuous provision of support to ailing actor John Okafor, known as Mr. Ibu, a commitment that was in place even before the viral report of his health condition.

The Director of Communications for the Actors Guild, Kate Henshaw, in a video shared on its official Instagram account on a Friday reiterated their commitment to their members.
Henshaw emphasized the guild’s unwavering dedication to aiding its members during challenging times, particularly when it comes to health-related issues.
“We are compelled to make this public statement in reaction to the vituperations of some netizens over the health of one of our respected and esteemed members, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr Ibu.
