The adopted daughter of ailing actor John Okafor, popularly known as Mr Ibu, Jasmine ‘Okafor’ Okeke has regained freedom.
It would be recalled Mr Ibu’s former manager, Emeka Chochoo, on November 23, confirmed that Jasmine and Mr Ibu’s sons, Daniel and Val, were invited and locked up by the police.
According to Mr Chocoo, Jasmine and her stepbrother were invited for questioning over Mr Ibu’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 told Punch.

Speaking on an update, actress Doris Ogala, who first made the public aware of the situation, shared a video of Jasmine and an unidentified man who claimed Jasmine had been cleared of all the allegations on Tuesday.
The man in the video shared via instagram,
“Finally, the case about Jasmine and Ibu’s family has been resolved, after the investigation, we found out that all the money moved to so so account, that Jasmine Okeke, did not partake in moving any funds.”
In another video with Jasmine, the man continued:
“We are not dragging anybody, the reason why I’m here is to clear everything rumour going on because if we no drag am like that we will not get enough fact. Nigerian police have done marvellously well that every account traced, she did not have a part because Nigerian police tried every possible means to make sure there is no link.”
The man further stressed that nothing was found in Jasmine’s account, but another family member, whose name he withheld, had highjacked the funds donated for the actor’s surgery.

Mr Ibu’s health struggles first made news in October when a video of the actor celebrating his birthday on a hospital bed surfaced on social media.
He revealed in a video posted on Instagram on a Wednesday that he needed financial support so his leg would not be amputated.
His leg was, however, cut off in November.
