Nollywood actor John Okafor, popularly known as Mr Ibu, is entangled in a family controversy as an alleged leaked audio surfaces where he confesses to a romantic involvement with his adopted daughter, Jasmine Okafor.
The audio suggests Mr Ibu admits to the relationship during a conversation with a woman who questions Jasmine’s intentions, claiming she is using him for fame.
This revelation follows previous accusations by Mr Ibu’s wife, Stella Maris, who, last year, alleged that Jasmine was romantically involved with her husband. In the audio, the unidentified woman accuses Jasmine of not being transparent about their relationship online and suggests she is now involved with Mr Ibu’s son.
The leaked audio has sparked various reactions online, with some expressing disbelief and others criticizing Mr Ibu’s handling of the situation. The family has been embroiled in controversies, including disputes over donations made to support the ailing actor. Despite these challenges, Mr Ibu’s son, Daniel, asserts that he is in control of his father’s account, refuting Stella Maris’ claims and denying Jasmine access to the funds.
This scandal adds another layer to the ongoing family drama surrounding Mr Ibu, as the actor remains hospitalized and faces health challenges, including the amputation of one of his legs.
