Popular comedian and actor, John Okafor and one of his wives, Stella Maris are currently fighting dirty and washing their linen in public. The latter, as a matter of fact, has accused the actor who is widely known as Mr. Ibu of romance with his stepdaughter and domestic violence.
A trending video, maybe released by the woman, has both of them screaming at each other. “Don’t let me get angry with you, do you hear me? Tell me what I want to hear right now. Stay there, are you mad?” the actor was heard saying, with the frightened wife begging him.
The woman could also be heard amid sob asking Mr. Ibu who is Chioma Jasmine, and then accusing the actor of abandoning her and their children. Chioma is allegedly his adopted daughter turned lover.
“I get BP… Who is Chioma now?”
On the abandonment allegation, she crying and saying: “My children dey here dey suffer. This man came to kill me. Don’t tell me it is okay, you don’t know what I am suffering. He came prepared to beat and kill me…
“I ran away from him. He came from his girlfriend’s house to come and beat me. He removed his wristwatch and was about to beat me, I pushed him and ran away…
“Look at where I am living, there is crack everywhere… Inside house, there is water. Look at the car I am driving, nothing, my children do not eat, no school fees, and you are telling me to do what. Not today, your cup is full…”
Responding to the allegations in an Instagram live with Daddy Freeze, Mr. Ibu said:
“She’s my wife, but there has been so much misunderstanding between us. That’s because she doesn’t want to understand the kind of person I am and my way of life…
“One or two things happened and it became a quarrel so we went out to settle it. I didn’t know she has something to push out on social media…
“When she came back from the police station, she started saying all sorts of things about me. She insulted my daughter and said a hell of things about her…
“She also insulted me, saying different things on air. I didn’t do anything to her…”
Coming to the aid of his father who is allegedly battling dementia, Daniel Okafor, the second son of the actor, said: “She (Jasmine) is 100 per cent my father’s daughter; not biological, but adopted right from childhood…
“Maris, who is my step-mother, is being brainwashed by her friends… My own mother is married to another man, but she is in Lagos.” He concluded.
