Nigerian actor Yomi Fabiyi has claimed that he possesses a video allegedly showing the circumstances surrounding the death of singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad. In a social‑media post, Fabiyi appealed to President Bola Tinubu to intervene and seek justice for the deceased. He said the video was sent to him as part of an attempted extortion, and that he wrote to President Tinubu in May 2025, stating his belief that Mohbad was murdered.
The case was previously reviewed by the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) in Abuja, which identified key suspects. Fabiyi now alleges that there are efforts to cover up the case, with the suspects trying to silence him by filing a petition over alleged illegal arrests. These developments have raised concerns about the handling of the investigation and the potential for obstruction of justice.
The FCID’s involvement and the identification of suspects indicated that the case was being actively pursued, but Fabiyi’s latest claims cast doubt on the progress of the investigation and on the commitment to hold those responsible accountable. Mohbad’s death has shaken the Nigerian entertainment industry, prompting many to call for a thorough inquiry into the circumstances of his passing and highlighting the need for greater accountability and transparency in high‑profile investigations.
As the situation unfolds, attention will focus on the authorities’ response to Fabiyi’s allegations and the next steps in the investigation. The intervention of President Tinubu, as requested by Fabiyi, could provide clarity on the government’s commitment to ensuring justice. With the investigation ongoing, it remains to be seen how the case will be resolved and what consequences will follow for those found responsible for Mohbad’s death.
