626Blaze reports that the NPF-NCCC made this known in an interview with Vanguard, in response to questions regarding accusations and counter-accusations made by the celebrities on social media.

The NFF-NCCC reiterated its commitment to impartial investigations, due process, and the protection of all citizens’ rights and urged all parties involved to cooperate fully with ongoing legal proceedings.

“Ms. Ojo was invited for questioning and granted administrative bail.

 

“Upon conclusion of investigations, the matter was formally charged to court in accordance with the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc) Act, 2024 amended.

“The second one, Cyberstalking Case Involving Iyabo Ojo, Tonto Dikeh & VeryDarkMan

 

“In a separate but related case, the Centre also received a complaint of cyberstalking and cyberbullying filed by Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh against social media personality Mr. Martins Vincent Otse (aka VeryDarkMan).

“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.

She went further to describe seeing videos of Sam Larry allegedly mocking the late singer and others showing physical assault, which she said compelled her to believe the bullying accusations.

“I saw Sam Larry’s video where he accosted Zlatan Ibile and Mohbad; that was when I believed the bullying allegation. As a concerned citizen and a mother, I used my platforms,” she explained.

The Real Distraction Is Not DNA, Its Sam Larry, Naira Marley – VeryDarkMan Revisits Mohbad’s Case

Vincent Otse, the popular Nigerian social media critic, who is also known as VeryDarkMan, has revisited the circumstances surrounding the death of the late singer Ileriouluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad.

Recall that Mohbad died on September 12 2023 under questionable circumstances and was buried the following day.

Since his passing, numerous efforts by his family, authorities, and other stakeholders to uncover the truth about his death have been unsuccessful.

In a recent reevaluation of the case, VDM released a new video asserting that justice for Mohbad remains out of reach.

VDM had earlier demanded a DNA test to be conducted, alleging Mohad’s wife Wunmi has knowledge in circumstances surrounding her husband’s death.

However, in a u-turn, he now claimed that the late singer’s former employer, Naira Marley, and his associate, Sam Larry, have knowledge of the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death but have not acted accordingly.

He said, “Mohbad did not get justice at the end of the day, the truth is that the main distraction was not DNA, the distraction was Naira Marley and Sam Larry.

“They themselves knows what happened to the boy, I’m telling you the truth, all of them know. Up till now nobody has brought proof that Sam Larry or Naira Marley killed the boy, they know themselves, they know what happened that day.

“But they covered it up, they were trying to settle scores on whatever Naira Marley or Sam Larry did to them.”

VDM also pointed out that while Mohbad suffered various forms of mistreatment from them, only one incident was captured in a “cropped” video that circulated online.

Lagos Coroner’s Court Gives Singer Naira Marley, Sam Larry One Last Chance To Appear In Mohbad’s Death Inquest

The Lagos Coroner’s Court, under the direction of Magistrate T.A. Sotobi, has warned that it will force absent witnesses to testify in the inquest into the death of singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad, if they continue to disregard summons.

The court allowed Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, to serve witness summonses through newspaper and social media notices, The PUNCH reports.

The witnesses include Azeez Fashola aka Naira Marley; Samson Eletu aka Sam Larry; Mohbad’s sister-in-law, Karimot Ogunbayo; Mohbad’s lawyer, Oluwasanmi Falade, the nurse who reportedly treated the singer before his death, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, and the driver who drove him to the hospital, Fidelis Esanbor.

The head of the Aloba family’s legal team, Taiwo Odumosu told newsmen after the trial that Mohbad’s ally, Boluwatife Adeyemo aka Darosha, was the only key witness present at the court sitting on Wednesday.

Odumosu said the magistrate had considered issuing a subpoena on them if they did not appear at the next court sitting.

“Today’s sitting was to continue with the examination of witnesses to know what happened to Mohbad and how he died. So, among all the key witnesses invited and served through substituted means, only Darosha was in court,” the lawyer was quoted by The PUNCH.

“Meanwhile, the magistrate said she would issue another witness summons one last time chance. She said if they fail to appear on the next adjourned date, they will be subpoenaed,” he added. 

The court adjourned the hearing to September 30.

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

His mother, Abosede expressed support for internal resolution within the deceased’s family to the crisis when she spoke on the court premises on Wednesday.

The mother said: “I don’t want anybody to do anything and what his father says should be regarded as the final decision. I don’t want anybody to do anything. What I want is for them to go to church and mosque to pray for him (referring to Mohbad).

“This is because everything people are doing does not make sense. They did not make us (the family) happy. The mother and the father are not happy. We beg them (the government) in the name of God to let us be and allow our family to settle this case.”
