Iyabo Ojo finally opens up after police questioning

Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has addressed the recent controversy surrounding and investigation linked with the death of late street musician Mohbad.

Iyabo took to her Instagram page on Thursday to clarify some comments. In a lengthy post, she explained that she never accused anyone of being responsible for the death of the singer.

She stated that she was only advocating for justice, but due to her political opinions during the last elections, she now has many enemies.

“1. It is no longer news that I was recently invited by the Nigeria Police Force, National Cybercrime Centre, Abuja, over petitions bordering on cyberbullying and other allegations concerning a live video I recorded a few years ago. In that video, I requested certain individuals to make themselves available for investigation into the sudden death of Mohbad in order to prove their innocence or otherwise. 2.  Subsequently, through my non-governmental organization, Pinkies Foundation, we wrote letters to the Governor, Attorney General of the State, Commissioner of Police, Assistant Inspector General of Police and several others. In these letters, we requested an independent and comprehensive investigation. As well as a coroner’s inquest, into the death of the deceased,” she wrote.

The actress went on to list 18 different points, explaining herself. She also spoke on the threat she received after the wedding celebration of her daughter, Priscilla.

Iyabo Ojo also stated that she has found comfort in the scriptures despite being a target of threats and attacks.

“Without an iota of doubt, I have recently found comfort in the scriptures, which state that many are the afflictions of the righteous, but God will deliver me from them all. Despite everything, I trust that God will ultimately give me victory over adversity,” she wrote.

She also stated that although she is open to honor any invitation by the police, she needs time to and space to attend to her mental health over the destruction done to her office.

“15. I am fully ready to continue to honor further police invitation or arraignment. As I have done in the past, without fear. 16. However, my office was recently destroyed by fire. It is only humane to allow me the emotional space and time to tend to my health and wellbeing. 17. I extend my sincere appreciation to the police authorities. Concerned individuals, friends, and supporters who have stood by me in the face of these daunting challenges. Regardless of tribe, religion, or differing opinions. 18. Thank you for your attention to this matter,” she wrote.
