By: Israel Adeleke
OPEN TELEVISION NAIJA (OTN) News reports that Nigerian actress, Iyabo Ojo, has voiced out after Nigeria Police Force, (NPF) invited her to the National Cybercrime Centre in Abuja over alleged cyberbullying, stemming from a live video she posted in 2023.
OTN News further reports that the Lagos-based actress, in a detailed statement on Thursday, revealed that she’s being investigated after publicly calling on several individuals to come forward and explain their alleged roles in the late singer Mohbad’s death.
According to her, “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 added.
However, she noted that on the note of her call out video, she has been invited by the police to the National Cybercrime Centre in Abuja for allegedly cyberbullying people.
OTN News observes that this development comes four months after a court acquitted Sam Larry and Naira Marley of complicity in Mohbad’s death.
OTN News further recalls that Mohbad, who died in September 2023 under controversial circumstances, was alleged to have been mistreated by former label boss Naira Marley and associate Sam Larry.
Under public pressure, both Naira Marley and Sam Larry were arrested in October 2023, as a result of multiple calls out video circulating online.
OTN News further recalls that Naira Marley and Sam Larry were later released and declared innocent of the accusations.
However, in December, Naira Marley demanded N500 million in damages and a public apology from Iyabo, prompting her to file a ₦1 billion lawsuit in response.
