Mr Ibu<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nigerian police have taken into custody Onyeabuchi Okafo and Jasmine Okekeagwu, the son and adopted daughter of popular comic actor John Okafor, famously known as Mr Ibu.<\/p>\n

The arrest is connected with accusations of embezzlement involving funds intended for the actor\u2019s medical treatment.<\/p>\n

Allegedly, the duo gained unauthorized access to Mr Ibu\u2019s phone and exploited his banking details, pilfering a substantial sum of 55 million Naira ($60,700; \u00a347,800). This money constituted contributions from fans and well-wishers to aid the actor\u2019s recovery after he underwent a series of medical procedures following a prolonged illness last year, which ultimately led to the amputation of one of his legs.<\/p>\n

Local media reports that authorities have successfully recovered 50 million Naira.<\/p>\n

The suspects, Okafo and Okekeagwu, had purportedly planned to flee to the UK, according to Mayegun Aminat, the spokesperson for the police\u2019s criminal investigation department.<\/p>\n

A Lagos court has granted the accused a bail of 15 million Naira as investigations continue. They are scheduled to appear in court in March for the next phase of legal proceedings.<\/p>\n

The arrest of Mr Ibu\u2019s son and adopted daughter has stirred public interest, highlighting the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the alleged misappropriation of funds meant for the actor\u2019s treatment and recovery.<\/p>\n
