Iyabo Ojo Shares Updates On Mohbad’s Death Investigation

Published

on

Nollywood star Iyabo Ojo has revealed that the Nigeria Police Force is still awaiting the results of a toxicology test following the autopsy performed on Nigerian singer Mohbad, who tragically passed away on September 12, 2023.

In an Instagram post on Tuesday, October 17, Ojo shared that Mohbad’s case has now been handed over to the Directorate of Public Prosecution.

She also mentioned that, despite the passage of time since his exhumation in September, the late singer’s remains have not yet been released.

Furthermore, Ojo highlighted that the surveillance cameras in Mohbad’s residence were never operational, leaving no video evidence to shed light on the circumstances surrounding his demise.

She further revealed, “Mohbad’s wife has been interrogated three times to the best of my knowledge. Two out of the three times was the day you all saw Mohbad’s dad televised by the police in which they addressed the public on Mohbad’s case. Later that same day, Mohbad’s dad, mum and wife were sent to Panti for interrogation and to write their statements. Another day, Mohbad’s wife was interrogated was the 21st of September 2023 — reason why Tonto and Senator Ishaku Abbo met her absences.”

Mohbad’s sudden and mysterious death in September sparked peaceful protests nationwide demanding for the police to investigate. Nigerians demanded that an autopsy be carried out and the police did just that after exhuming his body from his grave in Ikorodu.

Even though the police declared that the singer died due to the reactions from three injections he was given by an auxiliary nurse, Nigerians still await some results from the autopsy carried out including the toxicology report.

After questioning over 20 people, the police have pinpointed five suspects in Mohbad’s case: Feyisayo Ogendengbe, the nurse who administered injections; Ayobami Sadiq, aka Spending, the singer’s friend who invited the nurse; Owodunni Ibrahim, aka Primeboy, who had a prior altercation; and Naira Marley and Sam Larry, accused of bullying and assault by the singer before his death.

Published

on

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has granted bail to the controversial cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky.

Bobrisky was intercepted and taken off an Amsterdam-bound KLM flight at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos on Thursday night while trying to depart for London, United Kingdom.

The cross-dresser promptly informed his followers on social media about the incident, claiming he sustained injuries during the arrest.

Bobrisky wrote, “Nigerians, help me, EFCC just arrested me. I’m badly injured.”

He was subsequently flown to the headquarters of the EFCC in Abuja, where he was interrogated on his bribery allegations against the commission.

In a voice note shared by a controversial social critic, Martins Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, Bobrisky allegedly said he bribed EFCC officers with N15m to drop money laundering charges against him.

BIZTELLERS gathered that Bobrisky perfected his bail late Friday night and was subsequently released.

The EFCC’s spokesperson, Dele Oyewale confirmed Bobrisky’s release on Saturday but declined further comments.

However, a source familiar with the matter said the cross-dresser denied bribing the EFCC in his confessional statement made at the commission’s headquarters.

The source added that the cross-dresser challenged the person who posted the voice note to defend it.

“He denied everything about releasing money to any official as a bribe to drop the money laundering charges against him. He denied it in his statement. He said the fellow who posted the voice note should come over to justify it. He said nobody requested money from him in the EFCC and he didn’t give anyone anything”, said the source.
