Nollywood actress and social activist Iyabo Ojo has spoken out against disturbing online videos where a group of men publicly wished her death and accused her of obstructing justice in the case of the late singer, Mohbad.

The viral footage shows men marching in Lagos with placards featuring both Ojo's and Mohbad’s images. A group spokesperson even linked a recent fire at Ojo’s office to "divine retribution" and predicted further misfortunes for her family.

In a detailed Instagram statement, Ojo clarified her role in the #JusticeforMohbad campaign. She revealed a police summons over cyberbullying allegations but stressed she has never directly accused anyone of Mohbad’s death. Her involvement, she explained, was solely to urge individuals to cooperate with police to clear their names.
