Her response comes after recent public discussions surrounding the late actor’s family’s financial situation and allegations regarding the management of his estate.
Speaking in a video interview with content creator King Mitchy, Stella Maris maintained that the property transaction was carried out legally under a court order and involved the consent of Mr Ibu’s two sons, Valentine Okafor and Daniel Okafor.
According to her, documentary evidence exists to support the process.
“I have to show you this document. This is a court order. My husband’s two sons, Valentine Okafor and Daniel Okafor, and I acted according to the court order. Every evidence is here. We sold the house. I am not the one that sold the house,” she said.
She also disclosed that she currently earns a living through an online jewellery business, explaining that her late husband had discouraged her from starting the venture while she was actively pursuing her acting career.
The widow further revealed that she intends to leave her current residence, describing it as too costly to maintain. She explained that she only moved into the property because of security concerns and public attention following Mr Ibu’s death.
Addressing claims by a young man who alleged online that he is one of the late actor’s children and had been denied financial support, Stella Maris said disagreements over money began shortly after Mr Ibu’s burial.
She alleged that some family members demanded she share funds that were given to her during the funeral, insisting that the money was meant to support her children.
According to Stella Maris, she declined the request because the financial assistance was specifically intended for the welfare of her children and not for distribution among other relatives.
