Renowned comic actor John Okafor popularly known as Mr. Ibu is not leaving his sickbed any time soon after one of his legs was amputated a month ago.

The actor’s condition is said to have degenerated to a point that he hardly talks again. He’s also said to have undergone another surgery, cutting off part of the same leg that was initially amputated last month.

Reports also said fear has heightened over the deteriorating health of another veteran actor, Amaechi Muonagor, who has been hospitalized at Nnamdi Azikwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi, Anambra State, for over two months.

The National President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Emeka Rollas, who gave an update on the health of the ailing actors said “We are resigning to fate concerning the two actors.

As I speak with you, Mr Ibu hardly talks again and he has undergone another leg amputation.”

The conditions of the ailing actors are said to have continued to deteriorate with each passing day.

According to Rollas, who recently visited Muonagor alongside some of his colleagues at the Intensive Care Unit of Nnamdi Azikwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi, the actor’s state of health is pitiable, as he’s currently a shadow of his old self.

Rollas said, “You will shed tears if you see Amaechi Muonagor now, his legs are completely paralyzed. I’m calling on all fans and well-wishers of the actor to join hands with other philanthropic Nigerians to support him in this dire time.”

He revealed that he has approved the sum of N250,000 to be sent to the ailing actor’s account from the AGN Trust Fund, which, according to him, may not be enough, following Muonagor’s records with the Guild HMO and Insurance policy.

Recall that weeks back, Amaechi Monagor’s cousin, Tony shared the actor’s health update on Facebook, when he revealed he was battling for his life after he was diagnosed with kidney disease, diabetes, and stroke during his three-week hospital admission.

Tony in his post wrote, “This picture was taken two weeks ago when I visited my cousin Amaechi Monagor (Aguiyi) at the Nnewi Teaching Hospital. I initially had wanted to quietly assist as much as I could but later decided to make this post to clarify some things so that my friends, fans, and Amaechi’s fans, and indeed the online community can be better informed.

“Amaechi is currently down with kidney disease, diabetes, and stroke. He had been managing his diabetes over the years and living his life. He is at present undergoing weekly dialysis and other treatments at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi.”

Popular gospel singer Paul Nwokocha has finally addressed the swirling rumours about his marital woes, delivering a no-holds-barred statement in a trending video on his official YouTube channel.

Nwokocha declared that he has no regrets about ending his marriage, citing his wife’s alleged “abominable acts” as the reason behind his decision.

“If I marry today and find out that the wife I married is doing an abominable thing before God and before man, I will send you out of my house,” he asserted in the video, which was posted on Sunday.

The gospel artist went on to make shocking revelations about his estranged wife’s alleged actions, claiming she had been sending nude photos and videos to other men.

He challenged critics who questioned his decision to separate from her, asking how they would react if faced with a similar betrayal.

“I married a wife, not a whore. So, I owe nobody an apology for this,” he stated emphatically.

The video has since ignited a firestorm on social media, with netizens divided over his public outburst and personal revelations.

While some support his firm stance on morality, others question the wisdom of airing such private matters in public.

Meanwhile, Nwokocha’s latest marital crisis follows a pattern of controversial separations.

According to ABNTV on Monday, he has now ended his second marriage after just two years, with the bride’s family formally returning the bride price—an act that traditionally signals the dissolution of a union.

Nwokocha’s marital crises
Nwokocha married his second wife, Goodness Nwokocha, in September 2023, barely a month after parting ways with his first wife, Alice Nwokocha.

His separation from Alice was reportedly due to what he described as “maltreatment,” including her alleged refusal to serve him food.

The singer has previously expressed his belief that marriage should be “for better, for better”—a deviation from the conventional “for better, for worse” vow.

A family source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, disclosed that Goodness’s marriage to Nwokocha was fraught with difficulties from the start. She allegedly endured mistreatment in her new home, where she was treated more like a housemaid than a wife, reports ABNTV earlier on Saturday.

The source further revealed that Goodness had no prior romantic history with Nwokocha before their marriage. She had relocated from Lagos to be with him at the insistence of his uncles, without conducting any background checks.

By May 2024, tensions had escalated, and with the return of the bride price, their marriage was officially over.

Drug Lord arrested after wife posted vacation photos revealing his location

Notorious Drug Kingpin Arrested After Wife’s Social Media Posts Reveal His Location
In a dramatic turn of events, U.S. authorities have apprehended Luis Manuel Picado Grijalba, a high-profile drug kingpin who had eluded law enforcement for years.

The arrest came after investigators tracked him down using clues from his wife’s social media posts, which inadvertently revealed his location during a lavish vacation.

Grijalba, a figure notorious for his involvement in international drug trafficking, had managed to stay under the radar despite being one of the most wanted criminals. Known for his cunning operations and ability to evade capture, he built an empire that spanned multiple countries, orchestrating the distribution of narcotics worth millions of dollars.

However, the secrecy that once shielded him unraveled through the digital footprint left by his wife. Enthralled by their opulent lifestyle, she frequently shared photos and videos of their travels on platforms like Instagram and Facebook. Her posts showcased exotic destinations, luxury resorts, and private jet flights, often tagged with real-time locations.

According to officials, it was a particular series of posts from an exclusive resort that provided the final piece of the puzzle. Analysts monitoring social media activity linked the images to Grijalba’s suspected whereabouts, prompting a swift response from U.S. forces. A covert operation was launched, and Grijalba was arrested without resistance.

“This arrest highlights the critical role that modern technology and social media can play in law enforcement operations,” a spokesperson for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) said. “While Grijalba’s criminal network was sophisticated, it was the inadvertent actions of someone close to him that ultimately led to his capture.”

Grijalba’s arrest marks a significant victory in the fight against international drug trafficking. Authorities believe his empire was responsible for smuggling large quantities of cocaine and other narcotics into the United States and Europe, fueling widespread addiction and violence.

The drug lord is now in custody, awaiting extradition to face charges in the United States. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.

Meanwhile, experts have weighed in on the unexpected role social media played in the case. “Criminals often overlook the risks posed by digital exposure,” said cybersecurity analyst Maria Ortega. “This incident underscores how even the smallest online detail can unravel even the most sophisticated operations.”

As for Grijalba’s wife, sources suggest she had no idea her posts would lead to such consequences. While she is not currently facing charges, investigators are looking into whether she had any knowledge of her husband’s illegal activities.

The fall of Luis Manuel Picado Grijalba serves as a cautionary tale of how even the most untouchable figures can be brought down by the simplest of mistakes—this time, in the form of glamorous vacation photos.
