THE BATTLE FOR MR. IBU’S ESTATE: Son Blows Whistle on Stepmother’s Secret ₦100 Million Asset Sales and Fake Poverty Claims as AGN and Kanayo O. Kanayo Step In
A massive, multi-million naira scandal has rocked the estate of the late Nollywood comic icon, John Ikechukwu Okafor (Mr. Ibu). Days after the actor’s second wife, Stella Maris Okafor, wept publicly on social media over extreme financial hardship and unpaid electricity bills, the late actor's son from his first marriage has emerged with severe counter-allegations. The son exposed a massive trail of property liquidations exceeding ₦100 million—including the secret sales of houses in Lagos, Enugu, and Asaba—while he was abandoned without his WAEC results. Amidst the chaos, the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has approved a ₦50 million rescue fund, and veteran Kanayo O. Kanayo has pledged full educational scholarships to safeguard the children's future.
