Before that, the legend had disappeared from the limelight for a couple of years before the news of his bedridden condition went viral.
In a media chat with Vanguard, Okafor revealed that he was already "seeing people on the other side" before God brought him back to life. He attributed the illness to the actions of people who hated him.
Ibu recounted being taken to the hospital, where the doctors, whom he referred to as prophets, diagnosed his condition and outlined a treatment plan.
Speaking further, the departed actor mentioned experiencing visions in a state between life and death and credited God with his recovery and return to life.
He said, "My illness was actually perpetrated by people who 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 were 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 anyone. But on the other side, where I was at that time, I was seeing some dead people. God brought me back."
