Jasmine Okafor, adopted daughter of Mr Ibu, has broken her silence on the actor’s death.
Mr Ibu whose real name is John Okafor, died on March 2 at Evercare Hospital in Lagos State after a protracted battle with illness.
The 63-year-old underwent multiple surgeries and a leg amputation before he died.
Reacting to his demise in an Instagram post on Tuesday, Jasmine shared a video of herself and Ibu, chronicling several fun moments they had together, including a clip of the funny man singing her praises on his sickbed.
Jasmine who was accused of embezzling money donated for the actor’s medical expenses said every good thing she did for Mr Ibu was paid back in evil and unfortunately, he is no longer alive to clear the air.
She wrote: “Goodnight papa! You will forever be remembered for the love you gave, and the laughter you brought am grateful to God that I was able to give back that love till the very end.
“Despite all that was said, every single good I did was translated to €vil, you always promised me that the day you will speak , the world will listen and that gave me the audacity to carry on. Now I am brok€n because that day is never coming, maybe the stories will never end, maybe the bull¥ing will never stop but I know and I’m grateful for the ray of hope you gave me even when you felt hopeless.
“Every single good I did was paid In hundred folds with €vil, from the hands of the same people that was never really there for you when you needed them the most but daddy you know what matters the most amidst all these accusations? You never talked down on me, you appreciated me till your very last moment.”
Speaking further, Jasmine said she is mourning the pains Mr Ibu endured, adding that he fought to stay alive but death eventually overpowered him.
She wrote: “The pains you endured in the last days, you did with a smile, I am not mourning your d€ath, I’m mourning all the pains you had to endure, over 15 successful surgeries, you are indeed a fighter! You fought d€ath severally until it claws successfully overpowered you.
“I hope you find true happiness, peace and rest in the bosom of God! Make sure God laughs at all your jokes and Angels roll on the floor from every conversation with you. I lost a hero, Heaven gained an Angel. Adieu Papa!!!”
