There appears to be a disagreement between Nollywood actor John Okafor’s wife and daughter regarding the funds raised for his surgery. Okafor is currently facing an internal crisis as his wife, Stella Maris Okafor, alleges that the money donated by well-meaning Nigerians for the actor’s surgery has been taken over by his adopted daughter, Jazmine. 

Stella made these accusations on her Instagram on Monday, responding to claims that she requested money for a car using funds intended for Mr. Ibu’s care. Additionally, she clarified that she does not have access to the main bank account belonging to the Okafor family.

She wrote: “Recently, there have been some malicious lies being peddled against me on social media as masterminded by Jazmine Chioma Okeke who wants to make me an outsider in my own home but God forbid. I will address Jazmine’s excessive interference in my family affairs and other related matters when the time is right. For now, my husband’s health is most important to me

“The N1m donation they talked about was paid into my account on my husband’s instruction (and in his presence) to offset some bills at the home front. I don’t understand why Jazmine, a stranger should be dragging me over my family matter.

She further said, “I do not have access to the main Access bank account where people make donations. It is being secretly controlled by Jazmine yet she is cooking up all kinds of lies and propaganda against me to keep absolute control of that account. How she manipulated her way and took control of that account is a story for another day.”
