Mr. Ibu’s N50m Recovered As Son, Lover Face Charges

Published

on

At the Force Criminal Investigation Department Annex in Alagbon, Ikoyi, Lagos, detectives have  recovered N50 million suspected of being illicitly withdrawn from the bank account of popular actor Mr. John Okafor, also known as Mr. Ibu.

This significant development unfolded alongside the apprehension of Mr. Ibu’s son, Onyebuchi Okafor, and his partner, Jasmine Okekeagwu, sending shockwaves through the heart of the entertainment industry.

The arrest and subsequent court charges for conspiracy and theft unfolded following a petition filed by Diamond Waves Law on behalf of Mr. Ibu’s wife, Stella Maris Okafor, dated September 6, 2023.

The allegations detailed a intricate plot involving Mr. Ibu’s sons, Daniel and Valentine Okafor, and Jasmine Okekeagwu, aimed at defrauding the actor.

ASP Mayegun Aminat, the spokesperson for the FCID, revealed that investigations exposed a web of deceit.

According to the investigation, Onyeabuchi Daniel Okafor and Jasmine Chioma Okekeagwu allegedly exploited Mrs. Stella Maris Okafor’s trust, gaining unauthorized access to Mr. Ibu’s phone and subsequently his banking information.

Exploiting the illicit access gained, the culprits orchestrated deceitful transfers, amounting to N55 million, from the public fundraising account designated for Mr. Ibu’s medical expenses to Daniel Okafor’s personal bank account.

Through thorough forensic scrutiny, the embezzled funds were traced to Onyeabuchi Okafor’s account.

It was discovered that N5 million had already been expended on dubious transactions, while the remaining N50 million was successfully recovered.

Subsequent investigations unveiled the suspects’ elaborate escape plan. Jasmine Okekeagwu and Onyeabuchi Okafor were intending to abscond to the United Kingdom, utilizing a fake marriage and an already in-progress visa application.

Moreover, the inquiry brought to light compelling evidence in the form of WhatsApp messages exchanged between Jasmine Chioma and Daniel Okafor, outlining the intricate details of their nefarious collaboration.

Onyeabuchi Okafor and Jasmine Okekeagwu are currently confronting charges at Chief Magistrates Court 1, Yaba, with their case adjourned to March 11, 2024.

Remarkably, both individuals have been granted bail, each necessitating two sureties and an amount fixed at N15 million.

The case file has been formally transferred to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions for further legal counsel.

Diddy Caught On Tape Assaulting Cassie Ventura [Video]

Published

on

Surveillance footage has revealed Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly engaging in a physical altercation with his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in 2016 at the InterContinental Hotel Century City in Los Angeles.y

The video was obtained by CNN on Friday.

The video captures Ventura walking briskly down a hallway, carrying a purse and a small duffel bag, while Combs, wearing only socks and a towel around his waist, is seen running after her.

In the footage, the rapper, who is currently facing sexual abuse allegations from multiple women, is seen encountering Ventura at the elevator lobby.

He allegedly grabs her by the back of the neck, throws her to the ground, kicks her, takes her bags, and kicks her again before dragging her back toward the hallway.

Combs then retrieves Ventura’s bags and returns to the hotel room, while she uses a hotel phone by the elevators.

He later appears to shove her into a corner and throws an object at her off-camera.

According to Ventura’s lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, the newly revealed video reinforces the disturbing and predatory behavior exhibited by Mr. Combs.

He said “gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs. Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”

Ventura, who began her on-and-off relationship with Combs in the early 2000s when she was 19 and he was 37, settled her lawsuit against him just one day after filing it last November.

The suit alleged repeated physical and sexual abuse over more than a decade.

At the time, Combs “vehemently” denied the allegations, as stated by his attorney, Ben Brafman.

Following the settlement, Brafman emphasized that the undisclosed agreement did not constitute an admission of wrongdoing on Combs’ part.

Brafman did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment regarding the footage published by CNN.

Following Ventura’s public allegations, numerous other women have come forward with similar accusations against Combs, all of which he has denied.

In March, Homeland Security agents conducted raids on multiple properties associated with the rapper.

While the exact nature of the raids remains unclear, a senior federal law enforcement official informed CNN that the team responsible for the raids typically handles cases related to human trafficking crimes.
