Ailing Nollywood actor, Mr Ibu’s wife, Stella Maris has cried out to Nigerians that her husband’s adopted daughter, Jasmine has hijacked funds donated for her husband’s surgery.

She said: “The N1 million donation that I received was paid into my account in the presence of my husband to offset some bills at the home front. I don’t understand why Jasmine, a complete stranger, should be dragging me over my family matters.”

“I don’t have access to the main Access Bank account where people make donations. It is secretly being controlled by Jasmine yet she is cooking up all kinds of lies against me in order to keep absolute control of that account. How she manipulated her way and took control of the account is a story for another day.”

“There was never a time I asked anybody to buy a car for me. It was only mentioned in a private discussion between Jasmine and my brother, and she recorded it as a tool for blackmail. It was an innocent suggestion to help me cope with the suffering I was going through with public transport while trying to coordinate my hospital schedule with the home challenges.”

“This my brother has been living with us since 2013 long before people like Jazmine even knew my husband. He has been my strongest support and encouragement in these trying times as he willingly helps me with some of the challenges that I cannot cope with.”

“Jasmine said I took her name to a native doctor. This is very funny. Please, I don’t do native doctors or any form of fetish. Never! Because I serve a living God in whom I trust always. The person that called Jasmine is actually my husband’s cousin in the village who has also been calling me to know the state of health of his cousin.”

“That is the man Jasmine and her cohorts tagged a witch doctor. May God forgive them. Maybe Jasmine is indirectly telling us the kind of things she does to be able to manipulate people for her own selfish ends.”

“This whole campaign of calumny against me started because I asked for the statement of the Access Bank account when I noticed some funny attitudes and movements, especially by Jasmine.”

“I only asked for transparency in the handling of public donations, instead of secrecy and hell was let loose. till date, I have no idea about the status of that account. very strange.”

“But I will revisit these matters when the time is right. For now, I leave Jasmine and her gang to their conscience while I concentrate on my husband’s quick recovery.”
