Friday, June 26, 2026 -Trouble seems to be brewing in the household of late actor John Okafor aka Mr Ibu as his third child has publicly called out his widow, Stella, accusing her of squandering the actor's assets and denying him and the other children he had before meeting her access to his funds.
A public feud has broken out within the family of the late
veteran Nollywood actor, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr Ibu.
The actor's third child has publicly accused his widow,
Stella Maris Okafor, of squandering family assets and blocking other children
from accessing their late father's funds. Mr Ibu passed away in March 2024
following prolonged health complications that led to the amputation of his leg.
The internal conflict escalated after a video surfaced
online showing Stella publicly soliciting financial assistance to care for
herself and her three children. Speaking in an interview with content creator
KingMitchy, Stella disclosed that the household is currently facing a severe
financial crisis. According to the widow, the family has lived without
electricity for nearly two months due to unpaid utility bills. She stated that
they currently rely on well water, charge their mobile devices outside the residence
daily, and are struggling to cover the children's school fees.
“We fetch
water from the well. Because I have not paid the house rent. And they have even
cut my light for two months now. No lights since. We have been like that. Every
night we go to look for a place to charge our phones. And… It’s not easy.
Right now,
they can’t go to school again. I can even show you the message the school sent
me today,” she said
Her public outcry came as a surprise to many, including the
actor's fourth child, Somto.
In a reaction video making the rounds on social
media, Somtochukwu, who identified himself as Mr Ibu’s third son and
fourth child, countered her claims. He alleged that Stella deliberately
mismanaged and took control of properties intended for all the actor's
children. Somtochukwu specifically accused his stepmother of selling off his
late father’s houses in Lagos without distributing the proceeds.
He further asserted that she has kept public donations and
financial resources for herself while completely cutting off the actor’s
children from previous relationships
“My late
father left a lot of properties for all his children, but his wife chose to
take everything for herself and her own children. Her actions are becoming
something else. My father left many properties for all of us, yet she took
control of everything. She even sold my father's house in Lagos for N60 million
without reaching out to any of his children.” he said
