king Mitchy, Ibu's widow and children
Stella Maris Okafor, the widow of the late Nollywood actor, John Okafor aka Mr Ibu, has reacted to the allegations that she secretly sold her late husband’s properties and kept the proceeds to herself.
The family of the late actor recently opened up about their struggles and financial situation.
Somtochukwu, a teenager and one of Mr Ibu’s children accused Stella of denying him financial support after the sale of the late actor’s properties in Lagos and Enugu, and in Asaba, Delta State.
Addressing the allegation, Stella, during an interview with content creator, King Mitchy, explained that the sale of the properties was carried out in line with a court order and with the consent of Mr Ibu’s two sons, Valentine and Daniel Okafor.
Stella also said she has the relevant documents regarding the sale of the properties.
Mr Ibu’s widow further disclosed that she currently runs an online jewellery business, adding that her late husband had initially discouraged her from venturing into it while she was still acting.
She said, “I have to show you this document. This is a court order. We I didn’t, not me alone. My husband’s two sons, Valentine Okafor and Daniel Okafor, and I did it according to the court order. Every evidence is here. We sold the house. I am not the one that sold the house.
“I have a page online where I sell jewellery, and I am still selling my jewellery. When I wanted to start this business, my late husband stopped me because I was acting. My late husband was my colleague in the industry.
“I did not intend to come to this place. It’s because of pressure and security, but I am packing out.”
