Nigerian actress Iyabo Ojo has joined the ongoing conflict between Mama Mohbad and the late singer’s wife, Wunmi.
Recently, social media was filled with chatter about an audio clip where Mama Mohbad insulted Wunmi, accusing her of betrayal and more.
The problem was about who packed Mohbad’s belongings from his home, with both parties blaming each other.
After the situation gained attention online, Iyabo Ojo shared her thoughts on TikTok about what she knew.
The film star admitted she was weary of the drama. She explained that the owners of the house where Mohbad lived were calling for the family to pick up his belongings. Wunmi was reluctant to do so because of the accusations she faced.
Mama Mohbad also seemed hesitant, prompting Iyabo Ojo to recommend that Mohbad’s younger brother, Adura, or another family member lend a hand.
The Nollywood star mentioned that the situation caused drama between Mama Mohbad and Wunmi, mainly because of rumors and misunderstandings. Iyabo Ojo shared some of her thoughts on this.
“Mama was now explaining that Wunmi found out that it was Adura that went to pack the stuff but Mama felt that Wunmi was the one that told some people that she (Abosede) was the one that went to pack the stuff. She complained that one of Mohbad’s old phones that was with her, that Wunmi came to take… so there was a lot of issues and I as a person just tried to intervene and I will always want to blame Wunmi for her because she is the younger one and she is her ‘Iyawo’, she is the older one and Wunmi needs to apologise to her. So I tried to intervene and I begged Mama because I noticed that she was very angry that people were insulting her on some platforms and she felt it was Wunmi. I told Wunmi instantly to make sure she goes to these platforms and meet these people insulting her to stop and try to explain things better to them. I think what happened is she said she called Wunmi and she didn’t pick. Wunmi said she called her too, she too didn’t pick the call, so I think there was a miscommunication between both of them and I think there was a time there was a video they said a video was released of the house where Mohbad’s picture was in the room or something like that and I think people started attacking Wunmi, so there was a lot of misinformation and hearsay going on between them that day and I really tried my best to try and settle them because I was in Oyo working and I planned that when I get to Lagos, I will try and see how Mama Mohbad and Wunmi can resolve all these things amicably, so that was the plain simple issue that happened between them and I tried to intervene.
In a TikTok audio, Iyabo Ojo refuted claims that she pleaded with Mama Mohbad not to share information that might lead to justice for Mohbad. She made it clear that she is asking Mama Mohbad to share everything she knows that could support her son’s case, as she cannot imagine anyone suggesting she hide something that could help her child
She said: “So me hearing that they said I called mama and I was begging her because I don’t want her to spill some secrets is what I don’t get. I am saying it right here and now, if mama or anyone of them have solid information, I see no reason why I would keep any information about my own son, irrespective of anybody. If there are informations and things that she has and wants to spill, she should spill, they should use it to help the case, it will fasten the case to know exactly what went down, if there’s any information, I will never beg mama not to spill, in fact I will pick her up and drive her down to the nearest people in charge of the case so that she spills. Why will she want to keep any information that will help the case of her son? Why will I call her to beg her not to spill? So what is the justice for Mohbad that we are looking for? I have said it on social media space that if tomorrow comes, I don’t do social media judgement. I love to do the right thing, go to the right authorities and pursue the case.”
In a viral audio clip, Iyabo Ojo explained that she pulled out of the Mohbad case as her family and friends were getting tired of her being linked to it.
She further stated that her support for Mohbad’s widow, Wunmi, was primarily because of the late singer’s mother, Abosede. Iyabo mentioned that Mama Mohbad always had good things to say about Wunmi, which made her believe in her.
“We backed out from this case because there were a lot of private investigators on social media that felt they could do the case better and I had to pull back because of my family and people that loved me that just did not fancy that my name was being dragged anyhow. But I stand to say that if there’s solid evidence that this family has, instead of them threatening that they will spill, please spill! Go to the nearest police station or go to the main police in charge, the main authorities and spill. Why will you have something that can help the case of your son and then keep it? What are you keeping it for? What is the essence of keeping such information if you have it? If there’s anybody that has made me stand with Wunmi, it’s Mama Mohbad, because I remember the first day I went to that house, that I took her into the room to speak to her, I knew that everything she said was in support of Wunmi. If she had told me something different, trust me I would not have stood, I would have come out to say it. She has always stood her ground about Wunmi, a lot of things she has said has always been in support of Wunmi and that was one of the reasons I was like okay, this woman cannot see this girl like this, if she’s saying this is the way it is, then that’s the way it is.”
