According to Jasmine’s account of events, Jay Love skillfully manipulated her into believing they had a genuine romantic bond, which ultimately led her to send him significant amounts of money.
As they continued to get to know each other, Jasmine Okafor discovered that Jay Love had not only targeted her but had scammed at least 14 other women as well, some of whom were married.
The social media user in question, turned romance scam artist, had lured the women with promises of love, marriage, and even travel documents, only to strip them of their money once he gained their trust.
This story was featured in a true-crime special titled “The TikTok Scammer,” produced by renowned journalist Chude Jideonwo, highlighting the alarming prevalence of online scams.

Jasmine Okafor allegedly hacks Mr Ibu’s account
In a further twist to this troubling narrative, Jasmine and Mr. Ibu’s biological son, Daniel, were arrested in January 2024 for allegedly hacking into Mr. Ibu’s phone and misappropriating $60,700 of his money.
This incident added to the family’s challenges after Mr. Ibu’s passing in March 2024. Following his death, Jasmine took the controversial step of renaming her late father’s TikTok account, which boasted over a million followers, to her name.
In a move that raised eyebrows, she deleted all videos that did not feature her, prompting questions about her intentions.
Jasmine Okafor “steals” Mr Ibu’s TikTok account
In the wake of Mr. Ibu’s death, the internet was engulfed in grief as fans and colleagues paid tribute to the legendary actor.
However, the situation took a turn when popular blogger Tosin Silverdam publicly accused Jasmine of inappropriately taking control of the late actor’s TikTok account.
Tosin raised concerns about the timing of Jasmine Okafor’s actions, alleging that she might have had prior knowledge of Mr. Ibu’s death.
He also compared Jasmine’s personal TikTok account, which has amassed over a million followers, to the late actor’s page, casting doubt on her motives for dismantling the content and popularity that had long been associated with Mr. Ibu.
Despite the criticisms, Jasmine stated that she had been managing her father’s TikTok account for several years before his death, asserting her connection and responsibility over it.
