Nollywood Actor, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr. Ibu has finally reacted to the trending news of a Lady who said she had a one-night stand with the actor.
Mr. Ibu had a chat with The Punch Newspaper, and he said although he posed for the photo with the fan, but he never had any sexual relation with her.
“The woman approached me to take a picture with me alongside her husband. She said she happily posted those pictures she took with me without any write-up. It was when a blog carried the picture that a write-up appeared from nowhere.
“I initially called police to arrest the woman, but she came to my house with her family to apologise that she would not have posted the picture had she known it would cause trouble. She swore that she would not have a child, if she ever wrote anything evil about me. I believed her. I told her that she did nothing wrong by posting the picture.”
The actor described the offensive statement as the handiwork of unknown enemies who were planning to tarnish his image.
Pleading with members of the public not to believe everything they read online, Ibu also claimed that some people, in an attempt to rubbish his name, had hacked into his social media accounts and impersonated him.
He said:
“I know that I have enemies. They were the ones who put that write-up to tarnish my image, but they can never succeed because I have never stepped on anybody’s toes and I will never do it. I only want to upgrade people and make them happy.
“Some people are trying to pull me down. I’ve witnessed instances where hackers used my account to defraud other people and upload all sorts of nonsense about me. But I always tell people that I am not the owner of those accounts.”
On his ongoing movie project, Ibu described it as the biggest he had done till date, while disclosing that a major Hollywood actor had been billed to appear in the movie.
Asked what other career he would have chosen beside comic acting, Mr Ibu said he would have loved to be a football agent.
