Daniel Okafor, the second son of John Okafor aka Mr Ibu has denied recent claims by the actor’s wife, Stella Okafor regarding the public donations for his ailing father’s treatment.
Earlier on Sunday, Stella Maris took to Instagram to allege that Jasmine, the actor’s adopted daughter hijacked the bank account where money was donated for the actor.
An excerpt of her post read, “I do not have access to the main Access bank account where people make donations. It is being secretly controlled by Jazmine yet she is cooking up all kinds of lies and propaganda against me to keep absolute control of that account. How she manipulated her way and took control of that account is a story for another day.”
When contacted Jasmine declined making any comment.
“I do not want to be involved with the online drama, at least not yet. I am more concerned for Daddy’s well-being,” she said.
She however, suggested that questions be directed to Mr. Ibu’s son, Daniel Okafor.
Daniel stated that he is the actor’s next of kin and is in charge of the donated funds.
“My name is Daniel Okafor; I am John Okafor’s second son.
“There is no truth in what Stella Maris has been sharing online. Jasmine does not have access to that account; I have access to it. I am the signatory to the account and my father’s next of kin.”
Daniel also disclosed that Stella Maris is his stepmother, refusing to share more details about his mother.
“She is my step mother. My mother is not around at the moment,” Daniel said.
