Kehinde Adeleye

The Nigeria Police Force has summoned actress Iyabo Ojo over allegations of cyberbullying linked to a live video she posted in 2023.

In a detailed statement on Thursday, the Lagos-based actress revealed she was invited to the National Cybercrime Centre in Abuja for publicly naming certain individuals she believed were connected to the death of singer Mohbad.

“I was recently invited by the Nigeria Police Force, National Cybercrime Centre, Abuja, over petitions bordering on cyberbullying & other allegations concerning the live video I recorded a few years ago.

“In that video, I requested certain individuals to make themselves available for investigation into Mohbad’s sudden death in order to prove their innocence or otherwise,” she said.

This is coming four months after the court acquitted Sam Larry and Naira Marley of complicity in singer Mohbad’s death.

Recall that Mohbad died in September 2023 in highly controversial circumstances. His death sparked controversy after videos of how he was previously bullied by his former record label boss, Naira Marley and his associate, Sam Larry, surfaced.

The development made the public to point accusing fingers to Sam Larry and Naira Marley – with Iyabo Ojo championing the calls for justice for the deceased.

Following sustained pressure from the public, the duo were arrested in October 2023.

In December 2023, Naira Marley demanded a public apology and N500 million damages from Iyabo Ojo.

The actress responded to Naira Marley with N1 billion lawsuit.
