Last month, Mr Ibu shared a video announcing to his fans that he was diagnosed with an illness which he did not disclose. According to him, his doctor had said if the prescribed medications fail, his leg will be amputated.
Some Nigerians came to his rescue, including the Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation.
