    Following the untimely death of veteran actor John Okafor, popularly known by his stage name Mr. Ibu, on Saturday, March 2, 2024, the Nigerian entertainment industry is in mourning.

    The nation was shocked to learn of Mr. Ibu’s passing, and both fans and colleagues expressed their sympathies and tributes. Nasboi, a well-known comedian and up-and-coming singer, expressed his sorrow on social media with a sincere message: “Na from this man I learn humor. Forever in my heart.”


    In addition, Peter Okoye of the well-known band P-Square sent his condolences, writing: “Rest well Mr. Ibu. We will definitely miss you! #RIP.”

    He was a beloved figure in the Nollywood film industry, known for his comedic timing, infectious laugh, and ability to connect with audiences of all ages. His passing leaves a significant void in the Nigerian entertainment landscape. Funeral arrangements for Mr Ibu are yet to be announced.

    Recall that the veteran Nollywood actor who was said to have passed away earlier yesterday suffered from cardiac arrest.

    This was made known by the Emeka Rollas, the president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) via an Instagram post, confirming Ibu’s demise.

    Rollas quoted Don Nwuzor, the actor’s longtime manager, as confirming that he died of cardiac arrest.

    “Mr Ibu suffered cardiac arrest according to his manager for 24 years Mr Don Single Nwuzor,” the post reads in part.

    “I announce with deep sense of grief that Mr Ibu didnt make it. May his soul rest in peace.”

    The seasoned actor, who is 62 years old, is survived by his wife and kids.
