John Ikechukwu Okafor, aka Mr Ibu, has spoken from his hospital bed to set the record straight after rumours began flying around about his wellbeing.

The actor, who is on admission at a kidney centre in Abuja, said reports that he is in critical condition and not walking are false.

He added also that his Instagram account and his bank account have been taken over by hackers who are asking for donations on his behalf.
