Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has responded to the ongoing rumors suggesting her involvement in the death of popular singer, Mohbad. The 26-year-old musician passed away on September 12, 2023, and his body was exhumed for an autopsy on September 21 to clarify the circumstances surrounding his death.
In a recent appearance on the Glass House podcast with comedian AY Makun, Iyabo addressed claims linking her to Mohbad's death. She expressed frustration at the accusations, emphasizing that she was not close to the singer, having only met him once at a music festival.

The actress also questioned the logic behind these accusations, particularly in light of her efforts to ensure Mohbad’s body was exhumed for further investigation.
