Jasmine Okafor, the adopted daughter of veteran actor Mr. Ibu, has reacted to the news of her arrest over an alleged N55 million scam.
Africanglitz reported that the Nigerian police had arrested her and one of Me Ibu’s sons, Daniel Onyeabuchi, for allegedly defrauding the actor of the sum of N55 million.
According to the statement, the FCID received a petition from his wife, alerting them of their plans to defraud her husband while on his sick bed.
His wife, Stella, who was managing the funds, was manipulated by Stella and Daniel, who took possession of Mr. Ibu’s phone, hacked into his bank details, and successfully took full charge of his banking activities.
The investigation further unearthed text messages via WhatsApp between Jasmine and Daniel detailing how they conspired and hatched their criminal plans.
It was also exposed that the two had a sham marriage at the Ikoyi Magistrate Registry with plans to escape from the country to the UK, where they intended to settle with their proceeds of crime.
Reacting to the news, Jasmine, via a blog’s comment section, sarcastically stated that the figures she had been accused of were wrong, as she had stolen $1 billion.
She stated that she was responding live from Kiri Kiri prison.
“Wrong figure it was actually 1 billion ooh! Unna mind no go touch ground
Responding live from Kiri Kiri”.
This news is coming just a few days after Africanglitz reported that Jasmine and Mr. Ibu’s son had been rearrested by the police and locked up in the cell awaiting court charges.
Information that reached Africanglitz had it that they would be charged to court on Thursday, January 18th, for refusing to release and hand over everything, including social media accounts, to his wife, Stella Maris.
The reports also stated that the ailing actor was recuperating and had ordered his possessions to be handed to his wife.
Jasmine, who had been inactive on social media, shut down the report as she shared a video of her and actor Deyemi Okanlawon having a swell time.
The news of Jasmine’s alleged sham marriage to his son wouldn’t be surprising, as last year, an alleged leaked audio of Mr. Ibu admitting to sleeping with Jasmine Okafor made the rounds online.
In the alleged audio, Mr. Ibu was conversing with a woman, who questioned if he was aware that Jasmine was only using him for fame and was now sleeping with his son following his illness.
This corroborated his wife’s claim during an online rant that her husband was sleeping with Jasmine, an allegation that they both denied.
