Popular Nigerian king of comedy, John Okafor, aka Mr Ibu, has narrated how he survived death after being poisoned a couple of times by his members of staff who he alleged were paid by his kinsmen to kill him.
Mr Ibu speaking on his near death experience in an interview with Nigezie TV, stated that if not for God he would have been dead by now.
He says the poison made his stomach big to the extent that he couldn’t see his legs.
He revealed that he was placed on medications which began to help reduce the bulging stomach.
In his words;
“If not for God Almighty, I would have been a story perpetrated by people who don’t love me.
“I don’t take Alcohol up till now. Some people say I don’t take Alcohol yet my stomach is big, The belly is an idiot. It was after they gave me that poison. It was bigger than this before. If you had seen it, it was like a foam. I took medicine and it began to come down. Before I wasn’t able to see my legs.
“They took me to Nnewi, saying we had a show. They held me there and beat me up. They beat me and then inserted poison in my mouth and ran away, leaving me there. It was my boys and dancers that came and carried me home. It was in Enugu that I woke up. God said no, you are not going yet.
“Here in my office, they brought the first poison, I took it. I was falling around and nobody came to ask. Even the workers did not enter here even though they were hearing me fall around. I vomitted something in my bathroom.
“They gave me the second one, The people that gave me are the people working with me. I swallowed another one unknowingly because I never suspected them until when God opened my eyes. They paid them and gave them enough money to make sure they eliminate me. All these plans are from Enugu, my towns people and age grades that are surprised that I can own some things, build some houses, buy house in Lagos. They asked them to go and kill me.”
