Still on the news making the rounds on how Actor Mr Ibu’s adopted daughter, Jasmine Okafor and his son, Daniel, allegedly defrauded their father by stealing N55million from his medical donations.
Jasmine who finally come out to address the drama surrounding the the entire case, says she never wanted to talk, but she felt like she’s been used and maltreated.
Recall weeks ago, report was flying round the social media that the ailing actor’s adopted daughter, Jasmine and his son, Daniel were reportedly apprehended by the Nigerian Police for scamming their father and were awaiting court proceedings.
However, Jasmine refuted the reports by sharing a video of herself with actor Deyemi Okanlawon.
While sharing the video via her YouTube channel, she said;
“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.
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,” she said in part.
