Iyabo Ojo denies accusing anyone of causing Mohbad’s death

Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has made it clear that she never accused anyone of being responsible for Mohbad’s death, contrary to claims circulating online.

In a statement on her Instagram page, Ojo addressed the growing backlash, threats, and legal scrutiny she has been facing following her involvement in the ongoing investigation into the death of singer Mohbad (Ilerioluwa Aloba).

According to her, her viral live video from years back—which has now prompted an invitation by the Nigeria Police Force Cybercrime Centre in Abuja—was a call for transparency and accountability, not an accusation.

“In that video, I requested certain individuals to make themselves available for investigation into the sudden death of Mohbad… All of these steps clearly point to the fact that I never affirmed that Mohbad’s death was caused by any specific individual,” she explained.

Ojo revealed that her NGO, Pinkies Foundation, had officially written to government officials, including the Governor of Lagos State, Attorney General, Police Commissioner, and lawmakers, requesting an independent investigation and coroner’s inquest.

She stressed that while she was emotionally affected by disturbing videos related to Mohbad’s ordeal, she never interfered with police procedures, nor did she direct their investigative decisions.

Iyabo disclosed receiving death threats, including a threatening letter days before her daughter’s wedding, and more recently, discovering coffins with her name and threatening videos circulating online.

“Certain individuals have, over the years, consistently called for my death… incited public violence against me and my children,” she wrote.

Ojo said her office was recently gutted by fire, and she has been emotionally and physically drained by the events.

Despite these setbacks, she reaffirmed her commitment to justice and advocacy:

“Despite everything, I trust that God will ultimately give me victory over adversity,” she added.
