In reaction to the viral clip, Uche Maduagwu stated that Mr. Ibu's health issues may be spiritual, blaming industry colleagues for perceived wrongdoing.

The controversial act said that several Nollywood actors to whom Mr. Ibu had shown generosity in times of need may have used spiritual means, including visiting different spiritual practitioners, to harm him.

 He wrote:

"What you going through is Spiritual, Dear Mr IBU. Because of your Kindness, your Colleagues in Nollywood Don put JUJU for ground for you to Walk on, this is spiritual Sir.
"They have gone to Different Babalawo on your matter, you showed Them Kindness in their time of need, but look at How they reward you?"

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Mr Ibu recently clocked the new age of 62, and he celebrated it as a patient in the hospital. In the recording, his family marked his birthday as he sat, looking terribly ill.

They tried to cheer him up, but he would have none of their jokes. In the video, one of the legs of the actor was an eyesore as it was severely wounded.
