Mohbad: ‘Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, I Need You’ – Iyabo Ojo

Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has urged Nigerian singers, Wizkid and Tiwa Savage, to help new generational artistes avoid being exploited by record labels.

626Blaze reports that Iyabo Ojo made this known during a recent Instagram live session with fans, urging the musicians to join the ongoing campaign to get justice for their late colleague, Mohbad.

She explained that the late singer was inspired by them and other top artists to pursue a music career.

According to the thespian, the Nigerian music industry cannot afford to allow what legendary musicians, such as Fela Kuti, King Sunny Ade, and 2Baba, went through in the hands of record label executives and the authorities to happen to the new generation of artistes.

Iyabo Ojo said it would be unfair if top artists fail to protect their younger colleagues who look up to them.

She said, “Wizkid and Tiwa Savage, I need you. These young boys, they come from the slums and ghettos just like most of you did, and they were inspired by you guys to become artists. And they have so much talent. Music is one of the talents that has put Nigeria on the map… These children are making us proud.

“Nigeria is blessed with talents, and we cannot allow any cult or anyone pull them down. We cannot allow anybody pull those children down because their music is what’s giving us joy… We will not allow what Fela Kuti, King Sunny Ade, and 2Baba went through in the hands of record label executives and the authorities to happen to new generational artists.”

“I’m a very wise woman, I know when to fight” — Iyabo Ojo slams Verydarkman

Actress Iyabo Ojo has responded fiercely to claims made by social media activist Verydarkman, who alleged she backed out of an agreement to publicly apologise to Naira Marley and Sam Larry.

Her rebuttal comes hours after Verydarkman shared details of a roundtable discussion at the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF NCCC) held with Naira Marley, Sam Larry, Iyabo Ojo, Tonto Dikeh, and their legal teams, claiming Iyabo had promised to apologise publicly for accusing Naira Marley and Sam Larry of involvement in Mohbad’s death but later reneged.

In a new live TikTok session, Iyabo dismissed Verydarkman’s narrative as manipulative and dishonest, calling him “corny” and “deceitful.”

“So you had to come out and do your normal manipulating tactic. I’m a very wise woman. I’m not like you that’s very deceitful and corny. You’ve tried in all your might to bring me down, but you cannot,”she said.

Iyabo defended her actions, stating she had genuine reasons to speak out at the time. She explained that her reaction was driven by disturbing videos and online reports that emerged after Mohbad died in 2023.

“I used to promote Naira Marley’s songs until Mohbad died. I saw a video of Naira Marley dancing after Mohbad’s death, I was angry,” she stated.

“Name the Killer Or Face The Law” — Mohbad’s Brother Warns Verydarkman Over Prolonged Claims

Adura, brother of the late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has fired a stern warning at social media influencer Verydarkman, demanding an end to what he described as a prolonged and unsubstantiated investigation into the circumstances of the singer’s tragic death.

Taking to Instagram, Adura expressed growing frustration over Verydarkman’s recent online commentary, particularly concerning a leaked WhatsApp group chat that has revived speculation about Mohbad’s demise. According to Adura, the influencer’s suggestive remarks have generated intense public suspense without offering any concrete revelations.

In his post, Adura accused Verydarkman of playing to the gallery by raising public hopes without backing his claims with facts or evidence. He threatened legal action if the online activist fails to substantiate his accusations or reveal clear findings about what allegedly led to Mohbad’s death.

Quote
“Someone tell that prose narrator there’s already public suspense and he must finish the prose,”

Adura wrote.

Quote
“Even I am waiting for the epilogue, because he already raised my hope that he’s going to show us what killed my brother Moh inside the house—something that was hidden even from me.”

He further clarified that he had already given his full account to the Nigeria Police Force and the coroner handling the case, and stressed that the burden now lies on Verydarkman to provide clarity or stop fueling public confusion.

Quote
“But this sudden online witness, investigator, prosecutor, and magistrate combined must help us with what happened beyond our own knowledge,”

Adura continued.

Quote
“If he doesn’t explain it to the public, the way he stirred emotions and set minds against me, then he will explain it to a court someday!”

The latest outburst underscores the ongoing tension surrounding Mohbad’s controversial death, which continues to attract public interest nearly a year after the incident. As calls for justice persist, the family appears increasingly intolerant of speculation they believe may deepen their grief or mislead the public.

I Was Accused Of Killing Mohbad – Actress, Iyabo Ojo Says

Iyabo Ojo, the popular Nollywood actress, has disclosed that her activism in seeking justice for the late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba aka Mohbad, attracted negative criticisms and weighty allegations against her.

Speaking recently on the ‘Glass House’ with AY, Ojo said she was accused of killing Mohbad.

She said she was also accused of using his death to chase clout.

The thespian said contrary to the allegations, she was genuinely interested in getting justice for the late music star.

Ojo said, “They were even insinuating that maybe I killed Mohbad. I wasn’t around when Mohbad died. I was not close to him. I didn’t really know him that much.

“My encounter with him was during One Africa music fest. For the few days that we were together, I just knew that he was a cool boy, had his own thing he was going through and doing his music.

“If I killed him, then why was I fighting for his body to be exhumed for autopsy? There was a time they said I was paid [for my activism in getting justice for Mohbad]. They also said I was looking for a political position.

“They even said I was using it for clout. There are so many things that have been said about me. But I am not bothered because that isn’t the case. All I did was just to help seek justice for the late singer.”

Mohbad: Primeboy Drags Nigerian Police To Court

A Nigerian singer, Owodunni Ibrahim, popularly known as Primeboy, has filed a lawsuit against the Nigerian Police Force for alleged abuse of his fundamental human rights.

Recall that, in 2023, the Nigerian Police had declared Primeboy wanted following his failure to honour a police invitation successfully sent to him since the commencement of the investigation into the circumstances leading to the death of popular singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad.

However, in a brief statement to Punch on Thursday, Primeboy’s lawyer, Akinpelu Ogunbona, said the singer was demanding the removal of his name from the wanted list, amongst other prayers.

The suit was filed before the Federal High Court, in the Ikoyi area of the state.

“Primeboy has sued the police via an originating motion filed before the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos on October 11.

“He prayed to the court for a couple of reliefs, some of which included a declaration that the special police gazette bulletin issued by the office of the IGP declaring Primeboy wanted was a contravention of Primeboy’s right to respect for the dignity of his human person. Primeboy also prayed the court to delist his name from the wanted list amongst other prayers,” the statement read.

Following Mohbad’s death, Primeboy has found himself at the epic centre of the ensuing controversy.

He also surrendered himself to the police barely 24 hours after he was declared wanted.

Mohbad died on September 12 2023 at the age of 27, with circumstances surrounding his death sparking controversies on social media.
