Stella Maris, the wife of late Nollywood actor, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr. Ibu, has paid tribute to her late husband on what would have been his 63rd birthday.
Naija News recalls that Mr Ibu died on 2nd March 2024 at the age of 62 after a prolonged battle with illness.
In an Instagram post on Thursday, accompanied by photos of their family, Stella recalled how the veteran actor cherished and celebrated his birthdays.
She wrote, “Today is my late husband’s birthday (Mr. IBU). This will mark the first birthday without him celebrating with us here.
“I can’t forget how he used to cherish and celebrate his birthdays. We miss him so much. May his soul continue to rest in eternal peace. Amen.”
The Help I Rendered To Mr Ibu’s Family Is More Like Charity
Meanwhile, Jasmine Okekeagwu, the alleged adopted daughter of late Mr Ibu, has said she considers her dealings with the family of the late movie star as a form of charity.
Naija News reports that Jasmine, in an interview with Punch, clarified that despite the drama that ensued between her and the family during the actor’s last days and after his demise, she had not cut ties with them.
Jasmine said she is more focused on herself and saving herself from trouble because the family initially did not understand her intention.
She also stated that she had been involved in charity work for a long time even before she met late Mr Ibu.
