Nigerian actor Yomi Fabiyi has come forward with a claim that he is in possession of a video that allegedly shows the circumstances surrounding the death of singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad. In a social media post, Fabiyi called on President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the matter, seeking justice for the deceased.

According to Fabiyi, the video was sent to him as part of an attempted extortion, and he has since written to President Tinubu, in May 2025, stating his belief that Mohbad was murdered. The case had been reviewed by the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) in Abuja, with key suspects identified. However, Fabiyi alleges that there are now efforts to cover up the case, with the suspects attempting to silence him by filing a petition against him over alleged illegal arrests.

The development in Mohbad’s case has sparked concerns about the handling of the investigation and the potential for obstruction of justice. The FCID’s involvement and the identification of suspects suggest that the case was being actively pursued, but the latest claims by Fabiyi raise questions about the progress of the investigation and the commitment to holding those responsible accountable.

The Nigerian entertainment industry has been shaken by Mohbad’s death, with many calling for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding his passing. The case has also highlighted the need for greater accountability and transparency in the handling of high-profile investigations in Nigeria.

As the situation unfolds, attention will be focused on the response of the authorities to Fabiyi’s claims and the next steps in the investigation into Mohbad’s death. The intervention of President Tinubu, as requested by Fabiyi, could potentially provide clarity on the government’s commitment to ensuring justice is served in the case. With the investigation ongoing, it remains to be seen how the situation will be resolved and what consequences will follow for those found responsible for Mohbad’s death.
