- Jasmine Okafor has finally pulled back the curtain on her tumultuous relationship with Mr. Ibu’s wife and the rest of his family, ripping off the veil on the bitter animosity that’s been simmering for far too long.
- In a candid interview, she didn’t hold back as she recounted the support she tirelessly offered to the late actor and his kin, only to reveal the cold, stark reality of where she now stands in her interactions with them
Jasmine Okekeagwu, famously known as Jasmine Okafor, the adopted daughter of the late legendary actor John Okafor, or as the world knows him, Mr. Ibu, has finally spoken out about the explosive drama that erupted between her and his family during the actor’s final days.
The content creator, in a tell-all interview with PUNCH, didn’t mince words as she set the record straight, laying bare the accusations that flew her way, including the alleged arrest attempts led by Mr. Ibu’s wife, Stella Maris Okafor, and other family members.
Despite the storm of allegations and the toxic cloud of suspicion that surrounded her, Jasmine made it clear that she hasn’t severed ties with the very family that tried to paint her as the villain.
According to her, she has chosen a higher path, focusing on herself and steering clear of the chaos that nearly swallowed her whole.
Jasmine revealed that the family’s inability to grasp her true intentions led to the turmoil, but she’s now more determined than ever to protect her peace and well-being.
Her words;
“I won’t say I cut ties with them totally. I am just focused on myself, and saving myself from a lot of trouble.
“It is what I do. Even the help I rendered to them (Ibu family) is more like charity, because when someone that is not related to one stands in for years to make sure that all is good, it is charity. But, they did not understand my intention from the beginning, because they only thought of what I could offer and what they could get from me. Now, I feel it is better to help people that don’t have anything to offer. That is where the real blessing is.
“I have been doing this for a long time, even when I was with daddy (Mr Ibu). Since 2020, I have been doing personal charity. While growing up, I saw my mother helping people, and it was from there that my love for humanity grew.”
