Mr Ibu Narrates How He Lost N14m

Published

on

Nollywood comedian, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr Ibu has made some clarifications regarding the amount stolen from his Lagos residence, by some robbery gang carting away valuables and cash worth over N14m.

He disclosed this in a chat with Sunday Scoop: “When I said I lost N14m, there was a misconception that it was all in cash but that was not the case. One million naira cash and properties worth over N13m have carted away. Some of the items the robbers stole included gold wristwatches, necklaces and jewellery.

They also stole shoes belonging to me and my wife, and a lot of other items. The trauma is still very much for my wife and kids. They are still in shock because the thieves knocked down the doors of the house and you can imagine the type of noise they would have made at the time they came, which was about 3 am.”

On the insinuation that he exaggerated about the cost of the items stolen, Mr Ibu said,“The total cost of all the things that were stolen is even more than the N14m that I said. I have no reasons to lie about that.”

Speaking on how the security of his house was compromised, he said, “I live in a renowned estate for crying out loud, and we have different types of security in place. I am totally surprised as to how such an incident could have happened. Right now, I feel someone gave the robbers some information. However, some arrests have been made already. We identified two of us those who were arrested from the CCTV footage.”
