His wife had to feed him as all his strength disappeared.
The actor died a heartbroken man as he faced problems with the wives he married.
The actor married his first wife in 1998. Little information is available online about her, but the two lovers were both from Nkanu West in the Enugu State of Nigeria.
Mr Ibu’s marriage went through a turbulent time, and it ended. During the divorce, the first wife took everything Mr Ibu had, including his savings from all the films he featured.

In 2010, he married Stella Maris Okafor in a traditional ceremony.
Five years later, the two had a western white wedding and were together until Mr Ibu’s death.
After some years, the second marriage hit a bumpy patch, and the two would constantly fight.
Mr Ibu had an adopted daughter named Jasmine. The actor’s wife, Stellar, accused him of dating Jasmine, his adopted daughter.
Speaking to one blogger, she accused Jasmine of taking over Mr Ibu’s Instagram to dupe him as he had dementia.
Stella also alleged that her children were not attending school because Jasmine took all Mr Ibu’s money.
Later, she retracted her statements and apologised.
When Mr Ibu’s health woes deteriorated, his wife and daughter took all the money and chowed it.
One X user, Albert Nat Hyde, revealed that his daughter misused the funds for his surgery.
