I have video showing how Mohbad was killed, Yomi Fabiyi claims

Nollywood actor, Yomi Fabiyi




Nollywood actor Yomi Fabiyi has claimed he is in possession of what he described as a video showing how singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad, was killed.

He made the fresh claim in a video he posted on social media, where he also appealed directly to President Bola Tinubu to intervene.

Fabiyi said the clip was sent to him in an attempt to extort him.

The actor in a viral clip on Thursday said, “President Bola Tinubu, I wrote to you in May 2025 that Mohbad was murdered. Part of the video was sent to me in an apparent attempt to extort me. Your office wrote and gave a directive to the Inspector General of Police that they should investigate, harmonise, and prosecute.”

Fabiyi claimed that investigators at the Force Criminal Investigation Department in Abuja had reviewed the case file and identified, he said, key suspects in an alleged cover-up.

He said, “As of November 2025, after the FCID in Abuja noted key suspects already complicit in the alleged cover-up, the wife of the deceased turned herself in Abuja. Now they want to cover it up. They are even asking the same suspects to write a petition against me over illegal arrests.”

Fabiyi accused some police officers of trying to intimidate him because of the evidence he claimed to hold.

He added, “This suspect wants to silence me because they want to use the video against you. I don’t know why it is wrong to be loyal to your government. I am putting my life on the line to stand by this government and to speak the truth.”

His video quickly drew reactions across social media, with many users urging him to hand the alleged evidence to investigators rather than posting emotional appeals. (The PUNCH)
