Iyabo Ojo, the Nollywood actress, has addressed claims linking her to the death of late singer Mohbad.
Mohbad died on September 12, 2023. He was buried the following day. On September 21, the body of the music star was exhumed by the police for autopsy.
The circumstances surrounding his death have continued to stir up controversies.
In a recent episode of the ‘Glass House’ podcast with comedian AY Makun, Iyabo stated that some people insinuated she was involved in Mohbad’s death.
The 46-year-old actress also expressed frustration with the allegations, questioning why she would fight for Mohbad’s autopsy if she had something to hide.
Iyabo clarified that she wasn’t close to Mohbad, having met him only once at a music festival.
She described him as a “cool boy” who seemed to be going through his own struggles.
“They were even insinuating that maybe I killed Mohbad. I was not around when Mohbad died. I was not close to him. I did not really know him that much. My encounter with him was during One Africa music fest,” she said.
“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. They also said I was looking for a political position.”
The family of Jude Nnam has confirmed the abduction of the Nigerian music composer and gospel singer.
Nnam, better known as Ancestor, was said to have been kidnapped on Friday evening in Umunnachi, Anambra.
Augustine Mario, a Catholic priest, first broke the news on Facebook on Saturday, requesting prayers for Nnam’s safety and quick release.
“Please kindly keep Sir Dr. Jude Nnam (Ancestor) in your prayers. He was allegedly kidnapped yesterday evening around 6 pm, in Umunnachi, Anambra State,” he wrote.
“Sir Jude Nnam is the CAN National Music Director and Member of the National Liturgical Commission, CSN.
“May God grant him safety and quick release from his abductors. Amen.”
On Sunday, Nnam’s family took to Facebook to confirm his abduction in a post dispelling rumours about his release.
The family expressed gratitude for the outpouring of prayers and concern, pleading for continued support and prayers for a positive outcome.
“Dear Friends of Dr. Jude Nnam. We want to appreciate you all for your prayers and concern for Him,” the post reads.
“Meanwhile, the message circulating the social media that he has been released by his captors is false and misleading. He is still with the abductors.
“By the Grace of God we all shall rejoice when he eventually comes out. Do continue in your prayers and support. God bless you. From his Family.”
Amadou ‘Jadrolita‘ Elizabeth, the TikToker and content creator, has undergone surgery to remove a tumour from her mouth.
Peller, a fellow content creator, shared an update on Jadrolita’s health on Instagram on Sunday.
He posted pictures of his partner presumably at the hospital with a bandage wrapped around her head.
In the caption, Peller, born Habeeb Hamzat, expressed gratitude for the success of the procedure and shared that she is recovering well.
“Thank you God for successful surgery. My baby is now getting better. God you are the greatest,” he wrote.
