Jasmine Okafor has recently spoken about her relationship with John Okafor, the Nigerian actor who is popularly known as Mr Ibu. There were reports that Jasmine and Mr Ibu’s son, Daniel Onyeabuchi, were arrested in Lagos for allegedly defrauding the actor of N55 million.
In a viral video on the internet, Jasmine talks about how she met the actor, who has been like a father figure to her. She shares that after her father, who was a Nigerian army and a good friend to Mr Ibu, died, Mr Ibu has been playing a father figure role in her life. In 2018, she left the country to study law in Cyprus.
In 2020, Mr Ibu started requesting financial assistance from Jasmine on chat, and she was surprised because he was doing well and almost at the peak of his career before she left. He then opened up to her that he was sick and was in Abuja, while his wife was in Lagos. Jasmine requested to call his wife, who told her that Mr Ibu had left the house for over two years.
Jasmine didn’t want to speak up earlier, but she felt that it was necessary to share her truth now. She also shared that she had decided not to talk about this issue until Mr Ibu gets back on his feet, and to God be the glory, he has been discharged and is recuperating.
