Media personality King Mitchy has appealed to Nigerians to support the family of late Nollywood veteran John Okafor, popularly known as Mr Ibu, following a recent visit to their home.
According to information shared after the visit, the family disclosed that they have been battling difficult living conditions, including a lack of electricity and water for several weeks. They also reportedly revealed that meeting school fee obligations has become a serious challenge.
The development has sparked widespread reactions online, with many expressing disbelief that the family of the beloved comic actor could be facing such hardships.
One social media user reacted by writing:
“A whole legendary John Okafor? Didn’t he leave properties for them? They shouldn’t even be suffering. 😭”
Another commenter questioned the family’s financial management, referencing controversies that emerged during the actor’s health struggles.
“This woman (the wife) doesn’t know how to manage money.
Isn’t she the same woman who had issues over money with the lady who claimed to be Mr Ibu’s daughter while he was in the hospital? What happened to all the millions Nigerians raised for her husband back then?”
While many users have sympathised with the family and welcomed King Mitchy’s call for assistance, others have continued to raise questions about the support and assets associated with the late actor.
