Comic actor, John Okafor popularly known as Mr Ibu, has said that it was his sister, who instigated the fake news about his health.

WuzupNaija reports that the comic actor made a video recently to debunk a rumour about his health condition after it was reported that he was down with a stroke.

Speaking to Punch, the 57-year-old actor claimed his sister just opened a media outfit and probably thought the best way to drive traffic to the medium was to spread fake news about him.

Mr Ibu however said he has forgiven her and left her to God to judge.

He said,

“I don’t know what actually happened; one of my sisters was also part of the rumour mongers.

“She just opened a media house; so she is looking for a way to make her brand go viral. I feel she should have consulted me before spreading this kind of news and I would have given her another angle to explore such that it would not affect my image.

“The President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria also confirmed that I was sick and it is very funny.  The only bad incident that has happened to me recently was when I was attacked in Nnewi during Christmas and I have recovered

“I have forgiven my sister for what she did. I am alive and well, my wife was very angry over the news and wanted to take action but I told her not to do so.

“I’ve left it to God for Him to defend me.”
