Jazmine Okafor, adopted daughter of ailing actor Mr Ibu, has reacted to the allegations made by the actor’s wife Stella Maris.
Stella in an Instagram post on Sunday alleged that Jasmine hijacked the bank account where money was donated for the ailing actor by well-meaning Nigerians.
“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,” she wrote in parts.
According to PUNCH a correspondent contacted Jasmine to hear her own side of the story but stated that she does not want to be involved in online drama as she is only concerned with the actor’s well-being.
“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.
