According to THE GUARDIAN, Mr Ibu said in an interview, “My illness was actually perpetrated by people that 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 told me what was wrong and what they would 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 anybody. But on the other side where I was at that time, I was seeing some dead people.. God brought me back.”NYSC Portal
Mr. Ibu also revealed that his enemies were happy about his sickness and expected him to die, but God intervened and saved him.
He said that expressing surprise and gratitude for still being alive, has become the valuable lesson he learned from his ordeal.JAMB Result
