Nollywood – Stella Maris, the wife of the ailing actor John Okafor, also known as Mr Ibu, has claimed that the funds donated for his surgery have been taken over by his adopted daughter, Jasmine.
Mr Ibu had previously reached out to the public for help in October, as he is dealing with an undisclosed illness. Despite having gone through seven surgeries, one of his legs was amputated recently.
In a recent Instagram post, Stella Maris, the wife of Mr Ibu, spoke out about Jasmine’s alleged secret control over the donation bank account. Maris also addressed Jasmine’s claim of receiving N1 million for personal use.
“The N1 million donation that I received was paid into my account in the presence of my husband to offset some bills at the home front. I don’t understand why Jasmine, a complete stranger, should be dragging me over my family matters.
“I don’t have access to the main Access Bank account where people make donations. It is secretly being controlled by Jasmine yet she is cooking up all kinds of lies against me in order to keep absolute control of that account. How she manipulated her way and took control of the account is a story for another day,” she said.
