Actor Yomi Fabiyi Escapes Assassination Attempt, Flees Nigeria

In a shocking turn of events, popular Nollywood actor Yomi Fabiyi has fled Nigeria after reportedly escaping an alleged assassination attempt. The actor’s sudden disappearance has raised concerns among his fans and colleagues, with many wondering what could have prompted him to leave the country without warning.

According to reports, Fabiyi had scheduled a protest for September 30, coinciding with the resumption of the coroner investigating the death of late singer Mohbad. However, he failed to appear at the protest and has since gone into hiding, citing threats to his life.

In a controversial video shared on his Instagram page, Fabiyi revealed that he had escaped an assassination attempt just two days prior and was still receiving threats from unknown individuals. The actor claimed that his life was under threat due to his involvement in the Mohbad case, and that he had to flee the country to ensure his safety.

"I escaped assassination two days ago and they still planned to kill me tonight. If they had succeeded, I would have been buried tomorrow," Fabiyi said in the video. "They will now waste me all because I’m fighting for Justice. I didn’t collect money from anybody. I am just doing my own for God. I have to run for my life. I just left Nigeria unplanned and as it is now I don’t even know my destination."

The video has sparked widespread concern among Fabiyi’s fans and fellow actors, with many calling for an investigation into the alleged assassination attempt. The Nigerian authorities have yet to comment on the matter, leaving many wondering what will happen next.

As the situation continues to unfold, fans and colleagues alike are left wondering what prompted Fabiyi’s sudden departure from Nigeria and what he plans to do next.
