Content creator King Mitchy has stirred an outpouring of sympathy after sharing details of a visit to the family of late Nollywood actor Mr Ibu.
According to Mitchy, she visited the actor’s family and discovered that some of his children were no longer attending school due to financial difficulties.
She stated that Mr Ibu’s 14-year-old daughter and his younger sons, aged 12 and 10, had reportedly dropped out of school.
Mitchy also claimed that the family disclosed they had been without electricity and access to potable water for about two weeks because of insufficient funds.
