Bukola Saraki hasn’t cleared Mr Ibu’s medical bills – VeryDarkMan

Former Senate President Bukola Saraki’s name is currently trending on social media after his charity organisation allegedly cleared the medical bills of ailing Nollywood actor, John Okafor aka Mr Ibu.

However, a fast-rising social media influencer, VeryDarkMan has stated that no such thing happened.

Recall that Mr Ibu recently made a public appeal from a hospital bed for assistance to address an undisclosed ailment that had affected him.

Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation, an organisation established by the former Senate President, announced in an Facebook post on Friday that it had cleared the actor’s medical bills.

“The Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation is honoured to have extended support to Mr John Okafor also known as Mr. Ibu, a renowned comedic icon who has graced our screens and brought joy and laughter to countless homes over the past four decades.

“When we learned of his recent health challenges and the financial burdens associated with his medical treatment, we felt a deep sense of responsibility to assist in any way we could. We promptly paid off his entire medical expenses as of Wednesday.

“We encourage everyone who can to come forward and assist in any capacity, whether it’s through financial contributions, moral support, or prayers.

“We wish him a swift and complete recovery,” the foundation said.

The foundation also shared a transaction receipt for the donation:

In a video shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, VeryDarkMan said that the foundation only cleared the medical bill at the previous hospital where Mr Ibu was admitted and not at the new one where he is being treated.

VeryDarkMan said that Mr Ibu has already undergone two operations at the new hospital.
