The popular Nollywood actor, Mr. Ibu, has had one of his legs amputated after a long battle with an undisclosed disease.
The 62-year-old star, who is known for his hilarious roles in movies such as Mr. Ibu in London and Police Recruit, had earlier revealed in a video that he was suffering from a serious ailment that threatened to claim his leg.
