The Abubakar Bukola Saraki (ABS) Foundation says it has donated funds for the treatment of Nollywood actor John Okafor, a.k.a Mr. Ibu, who is currently sick with an undisclosed illness.
ABS foundation is a non-profit organisation that was established by former governor of Kwara State Bukola Saraki.
On Wednesday, Okafor had appealed for financial support via his Instagram platform.
Since a video of Ibu on the sick bed hit the internet, several people have announced their donations to the ailing actor.
In a statement on Friday via X, the ABS foundation said it had paid off the ailing actor’s entire medical expenses.
“The Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation is honoured to have extended support to Mr. John Okafor also known as Mr. Ibu, a renowned comedic icon who has graced our screens and brought joy and laughter to countless homes over the past four decades.
“When we learned of his recent health challenges and the financial burdens associated with his medical treatment, we felt a deep sense of responsibility to assist in any way we could. We promptly paid off his entire medical expenses as of Wednesday.
