October 21, (THEWILL) – The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has maintained that the guild has consistently offered vital support to actor John Okafor, aka Mr. Ibu, even before public disclosure of his health status.
This was made known by the guild’s Director Of Communications, Kate Henshaw, in a video shared on its Instagram account on Friday.
According to Henshaw, the guild has remained committed to supporting its members in times of need, particularly concerning health concerns.
The statement reads in part, “We are compelled to make this public statement in reaction to the vituperations of some netizens over the health of one of our respected and esteemed members, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr Ibu.
“We are not here to join issues with anybody, but we want to set the records straight over the public outcry that the guild and his colleagues have abandoned him at his point of need.
“The guild has never abandoned any of its members in need, especially with health interventions. We have been at the forefront of providing necessary support to Mr. Ibu even before his health conditions were ever made public.”
