His demise occurred on Saturday, March 2, 2024.
Mr. Ibu’s health had been a concern since October 2023, when reports emerged of his illness requiring financial assistance.
Regrettably, in November 2023, his family disclosed that he underwent leg amputation to combat a severe arterial infection, as revealed by his former manager Emeka Chochoo in an exclusive interview with PUNCH Online.
The actor breathed his last in the hospital.
In the wake of his passing, numerous celebrities and peers from the Nollywood fraternity have taken to social media to express their condolences. Mercy Johnson Okojie penned, “It is well… Rest well sir…” while Ruth Kadiri bid farewell with, “Sleep well Papa.”
