Nigerian actress Iyabo Ojo has addressed the backlash she’s faced for her involvement in seeking justice for the late singer Mohbad. Alongside her colleague Tonto Dikeh, she has been at the forefront of this effort, attracting criticism.

She wrote, “Lol, okay, if the last slide is true, that’s something I’m accustomed to. But please note, NO AMOUNT OF DISTRACTIONS will make me back down. If you like, undress, drink gutter water, go mad in the streets, or blog about me. Your headache, not mine. Monetization is allowed using my name 😍🤣.
We’re committed to seeking justice for Mohbad, and we’ll see it through to the end. If you’re confident, feel free to visit the SCIID or Panti to file your complaints. I’ve heard rumors that some of you might want to sue me or perhaps make some suya 😂🤣. Your threats won’t deter us in the end. May the police arrest everyone, and may your schemes not prevail. Amen 🙏😂🤣.”
