U.S., India Rejected Actor Mr Ibu Because He Couldn’t Survive Flying Abroad, Says Nigerian Actors Guild

The Actors Guild Of Nigeria has explained why the late comic actor, John Okafor, aka Mr. Ibu was not flown abroad for treatment when he was ill.

While speaking to Afia TV in a viral video, the union’s president, Chief Emeka Rollas said Mr Ibu was rejected by hospitals in United States and India because his prognosis would make it impossible for him to board a flight.

Explaining what impeded Mr Ibu from seeking treatment at foreign medical facilities, Emeka said, “There was a time we wanted to fly Ibu abroad, but when we escalated the doctor’s reference and his prognosis, almost all the hospitals in India and America rejected him and said whoever that has this kind of prognosis cannot survive flight to any country.”
