The Nigerian Police, through its Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (FCID), Alagbon, in Ikoyi, Lagos State, has confirmed the arrest of Oyeabuchi Daniel Okafor, son of comic actor John Okafor aka Mr Ibu and Jasmine Chioma Okekeagwu, his adopted daughter, for allegedly conspiring and defrauding the actor of the sum of N55 million.

In a press statement released on Thursday, January 25, the department stated that it acted on a petition received from Diamond Waves Law on behalf of the actor’s wife, Stella Maris Chinyere Okafor, alleging that two sons of Mr. Ibu conspired with his adopted daughter, Jasmine, to defraud their father.

On 6th September, 2023, a petition was received from Diamond Waves Law on behalf of Stella Maris Chinyere Okafor wherein one Onyeabuchi Daniel Okafor, Valentine Okafor, both of whom are sons of Mr. John Ikechukwu Okafor (Alias Ibu) and Jasmine Chioma Okekeagwu were alleged to have conspired to defraud Mr. Ibu while being on sick bed.

Investigation into the case established that as part of efforts to fund his medical bills, Mr. Ibu launched a public fund-raising initiative and attracted donations from his fans, entertainment industry players, and other well-spirited members of the public into a bank account which he publicized and dedicated for the purpose.

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 Jasmine and Daniel who took possession of Mr Ibu’s phone, hacked into his bank details, and successfully took full charge of his banking activities.

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” Jasmine wrote.

NEW JOY etcetera, and you kept flying.
