Ibu, who spoke from a hospital bed, also cried out for financial assistance over the medical condition.

The film star’s plight prompted calls on social media for the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) to assist one of its own.

Several people announced their donations to the ailing actor, including the Abubakar Bukola Saraki (ABS) Foundation, which revealed it “paid the entire medical expenses of Ibu”.

On November 6, Ibu’s family revealed that the actor’s leg had been amputated after undergoing seven surgeries. He, however, remained in the hospital where had been recuperating.

The 63-year-old actor had delved into acting since the early 2000s but rose to fame for his role in the movie ‘Mr Ibu,’ which was released in 2004.

He also featured in a plethora of movies such as ‘Coffin Producers’, ‘Husband Suppliers’, ‘International Players’, ‘Mr.Ibu in London’ and ‘Police Recruit’

CCTV footage shows Diddy punching, kicking Cassie in 2016

A shocking video from 2016 has surfaced online of Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs allegedly kicking, hitting, and dragging Cassie Ventura, his former girlfriend.

The hotel surveillance video, dated March 5, 2016, and obtained by CNN, captured multiple camera angles of the alleged assault.

In the footage, released on Friday, Cassie is seen in a black sweater with the hood up and duffle bag in hand calling an elevator in what the news platform reports is the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles.

The music mogul is then captured chasing the singer down the hallway in a towel. Diddy catches up with Cassie, striking and yanking her by the hair while throwing her to the ground.

The rapper also kicks Ventura twice while she stays on the ground, picking up her bag and dragging her back toward the hotel room.

The incident appeared to have corroborated several allegations made in a now-settled federal lawsuit filed by Cassie in November 2023.

In the lawsuit, the singer claimed she was trafficked, raped, and beaten by Combs on many occasions over 10 years.

The lawsuit labelled the musician a “serial domestic abuser, who would regularly beat and kick Ms Ventura, leaving black eyes, bruises, and blood”.

Diddy denied the allegations, calling them “offensive and outrageous”.

The rapper and Cassie’s relationship began in 2007. They made their public debut as a couple in 2012.

The pair, however, broke up after a heated argument in 2018.

Nollywood actress, Queen Wokoma, has found herself on the wrong side of the court of public opinion over the sheer and short outfit she wore at Junior Pope’s funeral on May 17, 2024.

The actress took to Instagram to post the pictures taken at the funeral, with the caption, “Here to pay our last respect to our Friend and Colleague. #ripjnrpope 🕊️.”

She sported a short black dress, sheer stockings and black heels, and social media users swiftly called her out for dressing “inappropriately.”

“If y’all really cared so much about this guy like y’all claimed, you wouldn’t have even bothered about looking nice to the funeral. It’s a young guy whose life was cut short in a tragic way and look at how you even posed for the picture. U did well,” a follower said, expressing her disapproval.

Another person reprimanded her saying, “You did well by going but this ur dressing is really a party wear. You actually wore that to a burial???? Na club you dey go? Abi na Wetin you dey celebrate?”
