Emeka Chochoo, the former manager of actor, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr Ibu, has disclosed why the actor’s adopted daughter, Jasmine, and two of his sons, Daniel and Val, were invited by the police.

News had surfaced Wednesday evening that Mr Ibu’s wife, Stella Maris, ordered their arrests following weeks of social media banter over the signatory to the actor’s account.

Nollywood actress, Doris Ogala, who shared the news on Instagram, alleged that Jasmine and the actor’s sons were arrested and detained at the Force Criminal Investigation Department Annex, Alagbon, Lagos over claims thag Jasmine transferred N300 million donated to the ailing actor from his account.

“Jasmine and Ibu’s sons were arrested at Alagbon Police Station. They are detained there. Ibu’s wife alleged that Jasmine moved N300 million out of the account. Ibu’s wife allegedly wanted them to buy her new house from the money contributed so far for Ibu’s treatments. That’s why she arrested Jasmine. But investigation states that the money contributed isn’t even up to N300 million,” she wrote.

However, speaking with our correspondent on the telephone on Thursday, Chochoo confirmed that all the three persons were invited by the police over the actor’s account.

‘Yes, they were all invited by the police. I won’t call it arrest; the police invited them over Mr Ibu’s account. However, Val is left out as he knows nothing about what’s been happening. He just returned to the country.

“I have not been able to reach any of them,” Chochoo said.

When our correspondent contacted Stella Maris for her comment on the allegation, she declined comment.

“Please, I do not want to say anything about it, please,” she said before ending the call.

All efforts to reach Jasmine proved abortive as of the time of filing this report.

Okafor recently sought help from the public following a medical emergency.

The actor, who was confirmed to be gradually healing following multiple surgeries, also recently had one of his legs amputated.

Reality show star and comedian, Aderombi Adedayo, better known as DeeOne, has revealed how singer Olu Maintain gave Nigeria a bad name.

DeeOne made the claim during his appearance on the Echo Room podcast.

Speaking about the negative effects of fraudsters activities on Nigeria, the comedian accused Olu Maintain of being part of the people responsible for what Nigerians are suffering.

He noted that Yahoo Yahoo became an accepted profession in Nigeria after Olu Maintain’s hit song, ‘Yahooze’.

“Do you know that Olu Maintain, great artiste. I love his work but do you know that Olu Maintain is among the people that put this country in a bad light, gave us a bad name?

“Many years ago in Nigeria, Yahoo Yahoo – 419 was something that everybody that was involved in it was ashamed. They could not come out to say I’m a 419. Na you go dey tell person say this guy ee be like say na 419. It was a shameful thing even though they were making a lot of money. And then, Olu Maintain came with that hit (song) ‘Yahoo’.

“The whole country started celebrating to the extent that, that thing had a dance. We did not understand the effects. Young boys then, babies at that time were inspired, listening to the song, enjoying the vibe. So, Yahoo Yahoo now became an accepted profession in Nigeria. And you know that Nigeria has the largest population of black people. Now, it has spread all over the globe.

“If we are complaining about this country now, Olu Maintain will talk and said oh is the government but he contributed to one of the suffering that we are facing today. Today now, if you travel out of Nigeria they will look at you and say oh these people that are into fraud.”
