Iyabo Ojo announces rally over Mohbad’s death

Iyabo Ojo, the Nollywood actress, says she will be staging a “peaceful” protest in Lagos to demand justice over the death of Mohbad. 

Mohbad, a former Marlian Music signee, died last Tuesday at age 27 and was buried on Wednesday. 

The circumstance surrounding his death has continued to spark controversies on social media.

The Lagos state police command recently commenced an investigation into Mohbad’s death while more than 250,000 people have called for the ban of Marlian Music, the music label owned by Naira Marley.

In a recent Instagram live, Ojo said Pinkies Foundation, her NGO, will submit a letter to the state government on Monday ahead of the rally on Tuesday or Wednesday. 

The actress also called for support from other entertainers in the industry to join the rally. 

“Governor Sanwo Olu. I want you to use your good office sir. We need you to see to it that all these investigations are carried out. We do not want an audio investigation. We failed when he was alive. This one he had to pay the ultimate price,” she said. 

“We parents are bringing the revolution to reality. The autopsy must be done. When I met him he was so disturbed. He was so paranoid. 

“My lawyer will write you. My foundation will write you people one after the other. My foundation will send out a letter. We are sending the letter on Monday to all the respectable offices. And we are sending it to international bodies. We are coming to your office on Tuesday or Wednesday. So that you can understand that we need justice. We are going to do a peaceful rally.”
