In a shocking turn of events, Nollywood actor Mr. John Okafor, affectionately known as Mr. Ibu, found himself at the center of a distressing saga. An astronomical N50 million, destined for the actor’s medical expenses, was brazenly siphoned from his bank account. This egregious act, allegedly orchestrated by his own flesh and blood, has left the nation reeling with disbelief.
The perpetrators of this despicable deed, none other than Mr. Ibu’s son, Onyebuchi Okafor, and his paramour, Jasmine Okekeagwu, have been apprehended and brought before the courts. The duo stands accused of orchestrating a nefarious scheme, with the audacious ambition to abscond to the United Kingdom with their ill-gotten gains.
As the sordid details of this heart-wrenching betrayal unfolded, it became apparent that the deception ran deep. It is alleged that Daniel and Valentine Okafor, Mr. Ibu’s other sons, alongside Jasmine Okekeagwu, conspired to perpetrate this reprehensible act. It is claimed that they manipulated Mr. Ibu’s wife, Stella Maris Okafor, gaining illicit access to Mr. Ibu’s financial instruments.
The funds, earmarked for the thespian’s medical care, were callously spirited away through a series of devious maneuvers. The masterminds allegedly seized control of Mr. Ibu’s mobile banking applications, orchestrating a calculated expropriation of the benevolent donations showered upon the actor by his legion of adoring fans, entertainment luminaries, and the public at large.
Subsequent forensic scrutiny brought to light a litany of damning evidence, leading to the recovery of N50 million. Shockingly, it was revealed that the miscreants had recklessly squandered N5 million on dubious transactions, leaving an indelible scar on Mr. Ibu’s quest for wellness.
In a bid to evade the long arm of justice, Jasmine Okekeagwu and Onyeabuchi Okafor purportedly embarked on a sham marriage at the Ikoyi Marriage Registry, surreptitiously plotting their escape to the United Kingdom. In a telling sequence of events, it emerged that they had already initiated the process of securing a UK Visa, intending to abscond with their tainted spoils.
The intrigue deepened with the unearthing of incriminating WhatsApp exchanges, laying bare the elaborate machinations of their malevolent designs. These revelations have laid the groundwork for an impending legal showdown, as Onyeabuchi Okafor and Jasmine Okekeagwu face charges at the Chief Magistrates Court 1, Yaba, with the court date set for March 11, 2024.
Despite being granted bail, the specter of justice looms large as the case file makes its way to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions for deliberation. The wheels of justice are in motion, and the world waits with bated breath to see how this gripping saga unfolds.
