Mohbad: Naira Marley Sues Iyabo Ojo, Demands N500 Million In Damages by Visblog: 7:37am On Dec 14, 2023 |
Nigerian entertainer, Afeez Fashola, also known as Naira Marley, has taken legal action against actress, Iyabo Ojo, alleging the dissemination of false and defamatory content on her Instagram account. In a letter sent to Ojo, Naira Marley's lawyer, Olalekan Ojo, outlined the accusations made in a September 2023 post, stating that the actress accused Naira Marley of engaging in spiritual and physical dealings with the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, widely known as Mohbad. The lawyer further asserted that Ojo accused Naira Marley of causing mental harm to Mohbad, whom he referred to as a brother. Naira Marley's attorney is seeking a redress of N500 million from Ojo and a public apology. The counsel asked that the apology be posted on Ojo's official Instagram account and published in a national daily. According to Naira Marley’s lawyer, failure to adhere to the condition placed before her would force them to file a lawsuit against her. The letter in part reads, “We are Solicitors to Azeez Fashola (a.k.a. Naira Marley) an internationally renowned British and Nigerian Singer/Artist with over seven million followers hereinafter referred to as our client pursuant to whose instruction we write concerning the aboveheaded subject matter. “It is necessary to preface this letter by stating that in recognition of the iconic status of our client, the Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) engaged him to use his skills and platforms to put out content that will discourage millions of his followers and Nigerian youths from substance abuse. “It is our instruction that sometimes in September, 2023, you maliciously and falsely published of and concerning our client on your official instagram handle 'iyaboojofespris' the following words: and destroying their lives and leaving them without a kobo to get help.......you go still explain taya because evidence dey, that your interview you go still re do am again.......make we get justice for Mohbad first". “It is unarguably clear that the above quoted words are in their ordinary and natural meanings meant or were understood to mean by ordinary right thinking members of the public that have read the post that our Client is a drug addict and that he laced the food and drinks which our Client gave to the boys staying with him with drugs with the resultant effect of occasioning monumental destruction of their lives. “Your publication of the above words on the internet which is readily accessible to users of the system constituted a very serious libel and has caused our client colossal damage to his reputation. “It is incontestably clear that the above quoted publication which has been read by countless internet users globally is defamatory of our Client and has brought him to public ridicule and or contempt with the resultant damage to our Client's reputation. “It is our further instruction that since the publication our Client has been inundated with calls from his followers, colleagues, friends and fans all over the world who had read the post expressing their disgust and dismay at the defamatory and libelous publication you had maliciously and falsely posted on your official instagram handle "iyaboojofespris" of and concerning our Client.” 15 Likes 6 Shares

Aunty Iyabo could have pursued justice for Mohbad's death through various means, such as urging the police to conduct thorough investigations and even hiring a private investigator to find evidence of NairaMarley's culpability. However, it is mere naivety not to see that her focus shifted towards gaining social capital and becoming a trending news story, while she used the tragic event to transform into a self-styled social justice warrior. She became excessively sensational and yes to capitalize on the tragedy for personal gain. The allure of trending on twitter, gaining followers, and securing ambassadorial deals from companies seeking to align with anti-bullying sentiments might have motivated Aunty Iyabo who used Mohbad's death as a means to increase her influence and income. Livestreams on Instagram and sensationalized claims picked up by blogs contributed to this pursuit, creating a lucrative cycle of attention and financial gain. Even Nairaland is still feeding on Mohbad's death. The platform don't care the harm they do to the victims of the stories they sensationalize here. It's all about money and power. Aunty Iyabo's actions had severe consequences for NairaMarley, her orchestrated campaign resulted in widespread public animosity for him. Marley, the street boy, did not only lost his street credibility, but his safety too was put at risk in the public. Aunty Iyabo was no witness to the incident surrounding Mohbad, but to raise her own profile, NairaMarley was a dog to be slaughtered; you take away his voice, fuel intense public hatred towards him and become the country's foremost social warrior. Marley is not a good influence- but she was in his circle and wanted to use his influence once or twice- we know. Now, there are other artistes, that may need Aunty Iyabo's intervention, that are enstranged, there is Temmie Ovwasa (YBNL Princess), Cynthia Morgan- but let them die first, that will give so much clout. what is Justice for Mohbad?? Is Marley and his associates no longer under police scrutiny? you should not have held him for murder, perhaps just bullying, exploitation, harrassment and your legal jeopardy would be less apparent. The dust has cleared, and with Marley breathing easier, he would gain back his repuatation only by ensuring folks like Aunty Iyabo, who position themselves as crusader for justice, but they only want to leverage a situation to elevate their own status, have their time in the legal crosshairs and are accountable. 24 Likes 4 Shares |

Lol. And to this day, Mohbad hasn't been reburied, Nigerian youths have moved on to other trends hence becoming oblivious of the outcome of the Police autopsy (which has unsurprisingly had no result to this day). What a country! 31 Likes 1 Share |
