She blamed the actor's adopted daughter, Jazmine, for spreading the allegation. In the interest of setting the record straight, Stella revealed that she did not have access to the actor's main bank account.

Stella accused Jasmine of appropriating the bank account where well-wishers in Nigeria had sent donations to help the ailing star.

According to new information from The Punch, Jasmine was asked to comment on the charges but declined to provide specifics. These were her exact words:

"I do not want to be involved with the online drama, at least not yet. I am more concerned for Daddy's well-being."

However, she told the news outlet to contact the actor's younger son, who identified himself as Daniel Okafor. He responded:

"My name is Daniel Okafor; I am John Okafor's second son. There is no truth in what Stella Maris has been sharing online. Jasmine does not have access to that account; I have access to it. I am the signatory to the account and my father's next of kin."
