Jasmine Okafor, the adopted daughter of veteran actor Mr Ibu, has stepped forward to address the ongoing drama involving donations and the actor’s family. The recent controversy surrounds allegations of fraud against Mr Ibu’s son, Daniel Onyeabuchi, who is accused of defrauding the actor of N55 million.
Contrary to earlier reports, Jasmine refuted claims of her apprehension and involvement in the reported criminal activities. In a video shared on her YouTube channel, Jasmine, accompanied by actor Deyemi Okanlawon, debunked the misinformation surrounding her and provided insights into the incident.
Jasmine shared details about her relationship with Mr Ibu, describing him as a father figure who provided support after her biological father’s passing. Despite the challenges in the past three months, she expressed hesitancy but ultimately felt compelled to share her truth, highlighting feelings of exploitation and mistreatment.
The investigation revealed WhatsApp messages between Jasmine and Daniel, suggesting collaboration in criminal activities. Additionally, it was discovered that the duo had a fake marriage with plans to flee to the UK with ill-gotten gains.
Jasmine’s candid account on her YouTube channel offers a different perspective on the unfolding events, shedding light on the complexities within the Mr Ibu family controversy. As the story continues to evolve, fans and the public await further developments and clarifications on the ongoing legal proceedings.
Stay tuned for additional updates on this unfolding saga involving Mr Ibu, Jasmine Okafor, and the fraud allegations against Daniel Onyeabuchi.
Mr Ibu’s daughter, Jasmine Okafor on allegations of stealing donations, beef with actor’s wife
“I want to say thank you to everybody, especially those who had faith in me, believed in me, and patiently waited till this day for me to speak out.
“The past three months I can’t say it has been hell, but in every situation, I want to give thanks to God. I said I wasn’t going to talk about this issue until Daddy (Mr Ibu) gets back on his feet and glory to God he has been discharged and recuperating. A lot has happened and I would like to shed more light on how I got involved and how things got to this point.
I am not talking because I need people to sympathize with me. I am talking because I feel like I have been abused, and used and I hope you guys are patient enough to listen to the entire story because it means a lot to me.
My dad passed away so many years ago, he was a Nigerian army and was a good friend to Mr Ibu, who is now a father figure in my life. When my dad passed on, Mr Ibu was at the burial, and ever since then has played a father figure role in my life. Fast forward to 2018, I left the country, I left Nigeria to look for greener pastures, and from there I relocated to Cyprus where I was studying law.
“Fast forward to 2020, Mr Ibu started writing me on WhatsApp, requesting financial assistance and this was surprising to me because before I left, he was doing well and was almost at the peak of his career.
“He now opened up to me that he was sick and was in Abuja, while his wife was in Lagos I requested to call her and she told me he had left the house for over two years.
I didn’t want to speak but things have gotten to a point that I have to speak up my truth,” she said in part.
