Recall the veteran Nollywood actor revealed last October he was suffering from an ailment that threatened to amputate one of his legs.
Mr Ibu disclosed he was struck by the problem while on a movie set with other Nollywood actors and actresses.
In November 2023, he eventually underwent the amputation.
His family said at the time that the amputation was done to keep him alive and increase his chances of survival.
