Stella Maris Okafor Clarifies Sale of Late Husband’s Properties
The widow of late Nollywood actor John Okafor, Stella Maris Okafor, has responded to accusations that she secretly sold her husband’s properties and kept the proceeds for herself. She explained that the transaction was carried out in accordance with a court order and with the full consent of Mr Ibu’s two sons, Valentine and Daniel Okafor.
Stella said she possesses all relevant documents that prove the sale was lawful and transparent.
I have to show you this document. This is a court order. We didn’t do it alone; my husband’s two sons, Valentine Okafor and we didn’t do it alone. My husband’s two sons, Valentine Okafor and Daniel Okafor, and I followed the court order. Every piece of evidence is here. We sold the house. I am not the one who sold the house.

She also revealed that she currently runs an online jewellery business, a venture her late husband initially discouraged while she was still active in acting.
I have an online page where I sell jewellery, and I am still selling my jewellery. When I wanted to start this business, my late husband stopped me because I was acting. My late husband was my colleague in the industry.

Stella concluded by saying she did not intend to be in the public eye over the matter, but pressure and security concerns have forced her to speak out, adding that she is now “packing out.”
