These are not the best of times for actor John Okador popularly called Mr Ibu as his wife has cried out that funds donated for his treatment have been hijacked by his daughter.
This is coming in the face of serious health challenge after the leg of the comic actor was amputated. NPO Reports that Mr Ibu’s leg was amputated to save his life according to doctors.
Among those who publicly donated funds for his treatment was the former President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki
On Sunday, Okafor’s wife alleged that she cannot access funds donated for the purpose of taking care of her husband. She pointed accusing fingers to one Jazmine, said be an adopted daughter of the actor.
“Recently, there have been some malicious lies being peddled against me on social media as masterminded by Jazmine Chioma Okeke, who wants to make me an outsider in my own home, but God forbid.
“I will address Jazmine’s excessive interference in my family affairs and other related matters when the time is right. For now, my husband’s health is most important to me.
“The N1m donation they talked about was paid into my account on my husband’s instruction (and in his presence) to offset some bills at the home front. I don’t understand why Jazmine, a stranger, should be dragging me over my family matter.”
Mrs Okafor said she needs access to the main bank account, where people donate.
She said, “I cannot access the main Access bank account where people make donations. Jazmine is secretly controlling it, 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 the story for another day.”
