'God brought me back to life' - John Okafor recounts his death experience

Veteran Nigerian actor, John Okafor, aka Mr Ibu, has finally spoken about his illness that kept him hidden for about three years.

Recall that the talented actor in 2019 alleged that his kinsmen paid some of his domestic workers to poison him because they were envious of his successful career.

In May 2022, the Mr Ibu again alleged that he was poisoned for the third time.

In a new interview with Vanguard, he revealed that he was already “seeing people on the other side” but God spared his life.

He narrated, “My illness was actually perpetrated by people that hate me. They did what they did to me. Later, I was taken to the hospital. The doctors are prophets. So, they went into my system and they told me what was wrong and what they are going to do. I said ‘Whatever you are going to do, please, do it, let me live because if I die like this the enemies will laugh’. And then the doctors said ‘Okay, there’s no problem’.

“At the time, I didn’t know what happened. I left! So, whatever I was saying they recorded it. I was saying something like somebody who is going mad. I wasn’t actually seeing anybody. But on the other side where I was at that time, I was seeing some dead people.. God brought me back.”

Mr Ibu concluded that his sickness taught him a “big lesson”.
