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.
They are accused of conspiring and defrauding the actor of N55 million. The arrest followed a petition received from Diamond Waves Law on behalf of the actor’s wife, Stella Maris Chinyere Okafor.
The petition alleged that the two sons and the adopted daughter conspired to defraud Mr. Ibu while he was on a sick bed.
The Police investigation revealed that the suspects manipulated Mrs. Stella Maris Chinyere Okafor, took possession of Mr. Ibu’s phone, and hacked into the banking details, transferring N55 million from the donations for the actor’s medical bill.
The suspects have been charged with conspiracy and stealing, and they were granted bail in the sum of N15 million with two sureties each. The case has been adjourned to March 11, 2024, and the case file forwarded to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution for legal advice.
