Stella Maris, the wife of ailing Nollywood actor John Okafor, popularly known as Mr Ibu, has alleged that the actor’s adopted daughter, Jasmine, hijacked the funds donated for his surgery.
Recall that Mr Ibu had in October took to the internet to seek for financial assistant from Nigerians as he battles an undisclosed ailment.
Despite undergoing seven surgeries, one of his legs was amputated last week.
However, speaking on Monday, in a post on her Instagram page, Mr Ibu’s wife, Stella Maris, alleged that Jasmine has been secretly controlling the bank account meant for donations.
Also, Maris addressed claims by Jasmine that she received N1 million to spend on herself.
“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,” Maris added.
