“I wasn’t seeking anything for myself” – Iyabo Ojo Defends Her Activism for Mohbad
Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has spoken out about the backlash she faced for her role in seeking justice for the late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
The actress revealed that her activism attracted harsh criticisms and serious allegations, including claims that she was involved in Mohbad’s death.
During an interview on “Glass House” with comedian AY, Iyabo addressed these accusations, calling them baseless and hurtful.
She shared that some individuals had gone as far as accusing her of using Mohbad’s death to gain popularity and pursue personal interests, including claims of seeking a political appointment.
She dismissed these narratives, asserting that her intentions were purely driven by a desire to uncover the truth and ensure justice for the young artist.
Iyabo clarified her connection with Mohbad, stating that they only met briefly during the One Africa Music Fest.
“I didn’t know him that well. He was a quiet young man, focused on his music and dealing with his struggles.
I wasn’t around when he passed away, so how could I have been involved?” she asked.
She pointed out the contradiction in the allegations, questioning why she would advocate for an autopsy and thorough investigation if she had something to hide.
The actress also addressed claims that she was financially motivated in her advocacy.
“There was a time they said I was paid to do this, or that I wanted to use it for clout. People even speculated I was chasing a political position. It’s all ridiculous.
I wasn’t seeking anything for myself; I only wanted justice for a young man who deserved better,” she said.
Mohbad, a fast-rising singer formerly signed to Naira Marley’s Marlian Records, tragically passed away at just 27.
“I am not doing this for praise or attention. Mohbad deserves justice, and I will continue to speak out until the truth is revealed,” she affirmed.
Former senator Ben Murray-Bruce has shared his belief that Afrobeats sensation Davido could someday become the Governor of Osun State.
Speaking in a recent episode of his Common Sense series, Murray-Bruce pointed to Davido’s family background and growing political interest as key reasons behind his prediction. He described Davido not just as a global music star, but as someone with strong political views and ambition.
According to him, it’s no surprise given the Adeleke family’s legacy in Osun politics. Davido’s uncle, Senator Ademola Adeleke, is the current governor, while another uncle, Isiaka Adeleke, held the same position during the Babangida era.
Murray-Bruce believes if Davido decides to enter politics, especially with proper guidance and structure, he stands a strong chance. He also added that Nigeria could benefit from more entertainers in politics, given their strong connection with the people. He concluded confidently, “Davido, if you ever run, I believe you’ll win.”
Big Brother Naija Star, Uriel Oputa speaks on losing out at the 11th edition of the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards, AMVCA.
The reality star took to social media to express disappointment with not winning the best dressed award to the event.
It can be recalled that Prince Nelly and Liquorose both won the best dressed award for Male and Female. It can also be noted that these two are former BBN stars.
Uriel then states on her Instagram “This is not to knock anyone’s design. Everyone looked stunning. But let’s be honest,the only reason I didn’t win best dressed is because I wasn’t there on time. Nobody can tell me my dress didn’t eat.”
Nigerian Actress Chioma Chukwuka reacts emotionally to winning the best actress award at the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards 2025, AMVCA.
The actress was awarded the win after her role in “Seven Doors” a film produced by Femi Adebayo. Her role gathered a lot of attention from fans as they praised and applauded her acting skills.
This earned her enough credit to be recognized as the best AMVCA actress for 2025. The actress takes to social media to express her gratitude “THANK YOU JESUS !!! Words really fail me ! AMVCA BEST ACTRESS 2025.”
