The family of late beloved veteran actor John Okafor better known as Mr Ibu has angered many as they solicit for fund for his burial.

Last month, the actor’s family had announced that a five-day funeral ceremony will be held for him and he will be finally buried on June 28, 2024. In an update to it, the central planning committee made up of his family and friends appealed to the public for donations to ensure a successful burial for him.

A statement jointly signed by the Chairman, Central Planning Committee, Monday Diamond; Secretary, Central Planning Committee, Christy Ejiofor; and the President, Actors Guild of Nigeria, Emeka Rollas; stated that the ailment which led to the actor’s death consumed millions of naira, which was why they were asking for financial assistance.

As such, the family has launched a GoFundMe page to help cover the funeral costs for the actor.

The news has left many angered as they noted how millions were contributed for him during his illness and yet his family fought over it for their personal gain.

" Burials do not befit the dead. They're dead and unaware what befits them or not. Befitting burials are bragging points for the living. The dead do not care. Love your loved ones while they're here, make sacrifices for them" ------ Unknown-----
