In March, it was reported that the experienced actor, who had been fighting for his life for several months, had passed away.
A healthcare worker was the one who revealed the news, stating that the actor had taken his last breath.
Emeka Rollas, the president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, later confirmed the news and disclosed that the actor died from Cardiac Arrest.
His death deeply saddened the industry as he was loved by many and had created cherished memories from our childhood.
It should be noted that in October of the previous year, Mr Ibu had reached out to the public for assistance as he battled an illness.
Prominent personality in the music industry such as Davido and P-Square, as well as popular personality Tunde Ednut and former senate president Bukola Saraki, came to his aid.
The actor underwent seven successful surgeries and had his leg amputated twice.
However, his health eventually worsened, leading to the loss of his voice. In January, he was discharged from the hospital, bringing joy to his fans and admirers.
Unfortunately, their happiness was short-lived as he passed away two months later.
