The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has invited actress Iyabo Ojo to the National Cybercrime Centre in Abuja over alleged cyberbullying, stemming from a live video she posted in 2023.
In a detailed statement on Thursday, the Lagos-based actress 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.
“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,” she said. “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.
”This development comes four months after a court acquitted Sam Larry and Naira Marley of complicity in Mohbad’s death.Mohbad, who died in September 2023 under controversial circumstances, was later alleged to have been mistreated by former label boss Naira Marley and associate Sam Larry.
Under public pressure, both were arrested in October 2023. 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.
