Jasmine Okafor, an actress and content creator, has finally revealed how she became the daughter of veteran actor John Okafor aka Mr Ibu.
In a captivating Instagram upload over the weekend, Jasmine, entangled in legal proceedings over her alleged involvement in a fraud scheme, divulged her story in a lengthy video. She announced plans to tackle the allegations further in upcoming clips.
Regarding the allegations, she expressed that while the past three months have been challenging, she refrains from describing them as hell and chooses to express gratitude to God in every circumstance. Admitting initially hesitant to speak up, she said she felt compelled to share her truth, felt exploited and mistreated.
Her words;
“I want to say thank you to everybody, especially those who had faith in me, believed in me, and patiently waited till this day for me to speak out
“The past three months I can’t say it has been hell, but in every situation, I want to give thanks to God. I said I wasn’t going to talk about this issue until Daddy (Mr Ibu) gets back on his feet and glory to God he has been discharged and recuperating. A lot has happened and I would like to shed more light on how I got involved and how things got to this point.
“I am not talking because I need people to sympathize with me. I am talking because I feel like I have been abused, and used and I hope you guys are patient enough to listen to the entire story because it means a lot to me.
When recounting how she met Mr. Ibu and became his daughter, she revealed;
“My dad passed away so many years ago, he was a Nigerian army and was a good friend to Mr Ibu, who is now a father figure in my life. When my dad passed on, Mr Ibu was at the burial, and ever since then has played a father figure role in my life. Fast forward to 2018, I left the country, I left Nigeria to look for greener pastures, and from there I relocated to Cyprus where I was studying law.
“Fast forward to 2020, Mr Ibu started writing me on WhatsApp, requesting financial assistance and this was surprising to me because before I left, he was doing well and was almost at the peak of his career. He now opened up to me that he was sick and was in Abuja, while his wife was in Lagos I requested to call her and she told me he had left the house for over two years.
“I didn’t want to speak but things have gotten to a point that I have to speak up my truth”.
