Controversial Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie has blasted Nigerians, including his colleagues, who are calling for the late singer Mohbad to receive justice.
In a lengthy post on his Instagram page on Sunday, September 17, he alleged that the people clamoring for justice were no different from those who had mistreated Mohbad and were merely using the late singer to chase clout.
He claimed that because he married a second woman, people have been spreading all kinds of stories about him and tarnishing his reputation, but nobody has come up to defend him.
Yul went on to say that he could have been killed or driven to depression by the taunting, cursing, and insults he endured for more than a year, but thanks to God, who strengthened his mind.
He wrote in part,
“All of una wey dey post Justice for Mohbad, plus the Nollywood people wey join una dey shout am, you’re not different from the people that were maltreating Mohbad.
You’re all demons and wicked people, simply chasing clout.
You’re all the same people who have been insulting me for over one year, bullying me on the internet, trying so hard to kill me for matter wey no concern una.
Simply bcos I took a personal decision for my life that is not your business.”
A Nigerian woman, who identified herself as the mother of the late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, better known as Mohbad,, has alleged that her son was killed and did not die a natural death or a mistake.
The agonized mother made a video to reveal that she was still alive and could not come out to speak as she was mourning her son.
According to her, she did not believe he died from an ear infection because she knew of his many troubles with his record label.
Speaking in her native dialect, she begged for justice for her son’s untimely demise as she laid curses on whomever was involved in his death.
She said;
“My son didn’t die a natural death; he was killed. Whoever killed my son, that person’s home will become troubled. They will face war and curses.”
The glory of the child in their home will diminish because of those who killed him and their sons.”
I am not dead; I am alive. My son didn’t find rest, and I couldn’t speak up whenever he was falsely accused because I wasn’t given the chance.”
I asked my son what happened, and he gave me money to go to the hospital.”
I called him from the hospital, and he told me, ‘Mummy, something is happening.’ I called him to come home and tell me what happened.”
I am his life and heaven. He said he came home because he heard something had happened.”
He said he was taken and given water, and then he didn’t know what happened to him anymore. Since then, I’ve been on the matter.”
Since then, I’ve been on it. He died in fear. The fear was too much. If he was supposed to go to some shows, he couldn’t go because of the fear that some people were coming.”
He was beaten every day, and I was receiving calls even from people I didn’t know. I didn’t rest until he was killed.”

In a video she shared on her social media page, Esther emphatically asserted that Naira Marley bears no responsibility for Mohbad’s demise. She further emphasized that Naira Marley’s only “offense” was extending support to Mohbad during his early days as an aspiring artist.

Popular Nollywood actress and politician, Tonto Dikeh, has strongly criticized singer and music executive, Naira Marley, over his recent statement regarding the death of his former signee, Mohbad.
Recall that Naira Marley finally broke his silence on Mohbad’s death on Friday, days after posting a heartbreak emoji on his Instastory in response to the tragic news.
In his post, he raised questions about the circumstances surrounding the singer’s death, inquiring about the events leading up to his demise, the ailment he was diagnosed with before receiving an injection, and why an autopsy was not performed after his passing
See his post below,
This clearly didn’t sit well with Tonto, and she took to her Instastory to criticize him for his questions, even though he had been repeatedly called out by the deceased singer for sending people to allegedly harass and assault him.
Recall that before Mohbad’s death, he had stated that Naira Marley should be held responsible if anything happened to him.
In light of this, Tonto Dikeh lambasted Naira Marley for claiming innocence when he is not complicit in the case. She also scolded him for attempting to deceive her and other Nigerians.
Her words,
“Is Naria Marley playing with us?
What the Fk is that letter you posted? Who are you asking questions? Where is Larry sam you sent to frustrate mohbad with cutlazz(and people were thinking it’s cane…Look well)… I will suggest You better SHUT UP(you look prettier with your mouth closed anyway) and keep dancing on Snapchat while we seek justice..
The last thing you will want to do is TAKE (US) MOHBAD’s FANs FOR A FOOL”

An old video of deceased singer, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, recounting his ordeal and how he was betrayed by his colleague, Zinoleesky, has resurfaced.
In the throwback video, the late singer was on a hospital bed as he tearfully narrated how he was accused of taking drugs and made to ingest a white substance.
Speaking in Yoruba, the singer explained that he had tried to protect his colleague, Zinoleesky, during the attack, but it was Zinoleesky himself who snitched on him.
His words,
“I was made to drink a substance that I know nothing about, but every other person wasn’t given that same drink, they said I was always on drugs, I’ve always trusted them with my heart and that’s why they were able to do all this to me. I was even saving Zinoleesky when my head was hit with a gun! The same Zinoleesky now snitched on me and did me dirty! Heavenly Father is my witness, I can’t lie against them!”
It is believed that the late singer was referring to the incident in February 2022 when he and his colleague, Zinoleesky, were arrested by NDLEA officials after their home in Idado estate, Lagos, was raided.
The father of late Nigerian singer Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has stated that Naira Marley cannot be blamed for his son’s death.
In a recent interview with an24 TV, Mr. Joseph Aloba clarified that Naira Marley was not present during his son’s final moments and therefore cannot be held responsible.
The grieving father described his son as his friend, helper, and the light of their family.
Speaking on what might have killed his son, Mr Aloba said,
“The only revelation that I have on that very day is that a day to his death, I had a dream. I saw someone in the front of my house holding a gun. In the dream, I dodged the bullet. On that very Tuesday, I decided to stay at home, praying concerning the dream I had. By 4 O’clock, they called me that I should come to VI to meet him at the hospital. On my way there, at the bus stop, they called me again that I should go back home and that everything has been settled. As an elderly person, I knew that there was something behind that. That is not something they can tell me at the busstop. So I refused. I now went back to his house. I reached his house. He was already dead.”
When asked for the identity of the people that took Mohbad to the hospital before he died, he responded;
“I don’t know exactly who they are. I can only blame them that they allowed an auxiliary nurse to be working on him in that level because Mohbad is not the kind of person they can put in a room and call a nurse. Which kind of nurse? Is she qualified? Mere looking at what happened, that is not a qualified nurse, giving him injection inside a room. Maybe it is the effect of the injection that resulted to this because according to them, after giving him the injection, he was vomiting. One of his boys now decided that they should put him on an ‘Okada’ so they can take him to the hospital. That is what I heard from them.”
Responding to rumours that he was rushed to the hospital with head and neck injuries, Mr Joseph said, “It is not neck. The injury is on the hand.”
He explained that one of Mohbad’s close friends met him at a show and they exchanged pleasantries. However, the singer’s associates were displeased with the way they greeted each other and they confronted his friend.
They requested that the friend disengage from Mohbad, but Mohbad insisted that his friend stay with him. He even permitted his friend to join him in the car they were driving in.
Subsequently, he was informed that when they reached their destination, Mohbad became upset and sustained an injury to his hand.
“That very day, he did not complain to anybody, It was the following day that the hand became swollen and that was when they called a nurse. I don’t know the type of nurse they called,” he said.
According to the father, he did not receive any information from the doctors as his son’s corpse was already home when he got to his residence.
“I am the one that decided that they should pick him up to Ikorodu for his burial. My belief is that God that gives and God that takes”
In response to how he handled his son’s complaints that Naira Marley and others were assaulting him, the distraught father said,
“I tried my best to reach Naira Marley but everything was in vain. When this issue happened, I wanted to trek to his house but I was scared because I didn’t know what I will meet there. There was a time that Naira Marley called me, for me to call him back was not possible. Someone that you do not have contact with, it will be difficult for you to reach him.
I heard a lot of things happened to him but you cannot say it’s Naira Marley because he was attacked when he was doing his new album with ZLatan. We cannot say it is Naira Marley because the people that came is not Naira Marley, so we can’t say it’s Naira Marley that did it’‘
He also debunked claims that his late son was into drugs.

On Friday, September 15, 2023, Justice O.A. Egwuatu of the Federal High Court, Maitama, Abuja, delivered a verdict of guilt and imposed a one-year prison sentence on Ukoh Michael Odeh. This conviction stemmed from a single count charge of fraud levied against him by the Makurdi Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The EFCC, in a statement, revealed that the convict found himself entangled in legal proceedings following an intelligence report received by the Makurdi Zonal Command. This report raised concerns about suspicious activities attributed to individuals suspected of engaging in internet fraud in Makurdi, leading to Odeh’s subsequent apprehension in a sting operation.
It reads ;
“That you, Ukoh Michael Odeh, between 2022 and 2023 in Makurdi, Benue State within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court did fail to account for the source of N6,000,000 (Six Million Naira) only in your account when you reasonably ought to have known or suspected that the said unaccounted funds formed part of the proceeds of an unlawful activity to wit: Fraud and Money laundering and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 20 (a) of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022 and punishable under Section 20(b) of the same Act”.

Media personality and actress, Toke Makinwa has said that if she had a kid with her husband, Ayida Maje she would have stayed in her marriage.
Recall that in 2015, Toke Makinwa and Maje Ayida divorced when it was learned that his ex-girlfriend was carrying his child.
However, the actress acknowledged that she would have had to make sacrifices if she had a child in the marriage on the most recent edition of her podcast, TokeMoments.
According to her, most women stay in unhealthy marriages because of their kids, and she was not judging them because she may have done the same thing.
In her words,
“A lot of women stay in unhealthy marriages for their children. For the longest, you hear so many women say things like, ‘The marriage is done but I only stay for my kids.’
And I’m going to be honest here, if I had had a kid while I was married, I may have been one of those women. Because I also had the trauma of losing both parents at the age of 8. I mean, I was adopted. I have a great life which I’m thankful for but there were times that I wondered what life could have possibly been like if that hadn’t happened.
So, for the sake of my children, I may have had to compromise just because I wanted them to have mum and dad. I may have been one of these women. So, I’m not even judging anyone right here.”

Lizzy captioned the video,
“For the past few days, I have received calls and message from someone who claim to have my nudes.
The calls and comment on my page are aimed at forcing me to a negotiation table to become a victim of blackmail.

Controversial Nigerian singer, Temmie Ovwasa has shared her experience with her former boss, Olamide, and revealed the reasons she left the label.
Her revelation was triggered by the death of singer, Mohbad who accused his label boss, Naira Marley of assaulting him when he tried to leave the label.
Taking to her Instagram story, Temmie shared lengthy details of what she experienced while being signed to YBNL and why she decided to quit.
Recall that Temmie, otherwise known as YBNL Princess, signed a record deal with YBNL Nation in August 2015 but left the label in 2020 after having a disagreement with the label boss, Olamide.
According to the former YBNL signee, her Boss was good to her in public but after five years of working with him, she had only four songs to her name.
She also narrated that his wife constantly treated her badly and spoke down to her in public because the label had no functional structure.
She wrote in part,
“I came to Lagos to sing, your structureless record label put me in a house with your wife and she turned me to her freakin errand girl!! Do you know how wild it is to be saying “yes ma” to a rude girl that’s just 2 years older than you because you need to get your life on track??!!!!
Aye gbogbo yin ma pada baje ni seh,
And don’t even get me started on the shady political affiliations that I can only keep quiet about if I don’t want to be unalived!!!
Last last l’m not Nigeria’s sacrificial lamb and that one is not my story to tell,
hope Mohbad rests in peace, you people have unalived him, go and eat his body A
But I honestly will not forget this one, I can’t, he spoke up, we usually do but were all addicts and ungrateful artists, continue”
President Bola Tinubu asserted today, September 14, in Abuja, that Nigerians are inherently hard-working and should not find themselves in a state of impoverishment.
This statement was made as he received a substantial 62-member delegation, representing leaders from both the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
According to a release from the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelali, President Tinubu’s sentiments were encapsulated as follows:
“We are not lazy people. We are richly endowed. We just need to be our brother’s keeper, and good neighbours to one another. I am not a President that will give excuses. I will work hard for our nation with purpose, determination, and dedication to create wealth for all Nigerians. We have no reason to be poor! We will not look back, we will run aggressively forward.
Today, we may be swimming against the tide. But the waves will soon propel us forward from behind. We will achieve the goals and dreams of our forefathers. I am inspired by the nation of people I now lead”

Nigerian murderer, Killaboi has accused Cordelia Okonye, the mother of his late girlfriend, Augusta, of pimping her out to men while she was in a relationship with him.
He made this damning allegation after his girlfriend’s mother took to social media to seek justice for her daughter’s death and accused him of intentionally killing her daughter, in contrast to his claim of it being a mistake.
According to Killaboi, he didn’t want to spill their dark secret but felt compelled to do so due to accusations that he killed his girlfriend and harvested her organs for ritual purposes.
He explained that on the day of the murder, he confronted his girlfriend after discovering her messages with her mother. In an attempt to protect their secret, she brought out a knife to attack him but he managed to wrestle the knife from her and ended up fatally stabbing her to death.
Killaboi further revealed that he has three sex tapes of his girlfriend with other men, which her mother was aware of. He also released a voice note of Augusta’s mother threatening him against sharing the sex tapes with the police, in order not to tarnish her image and her church.”
He wrote,
“@cordeliaokonye you can’t keep blackmailing me in private while selling lies to the public, while twisting the narrative and wanting people to believe the lies and not how you and Augusta played and swindle me.
What’s do we call a pastor that pimp her daughter to men while in a relationship with me called?
Should I talk about how you all swindled me, played and set me up to be extorted and betrayed me despite all I did for the family but let’s leave the conversation for another day.
Should I talk about the 3 sextapes with 3 different men that was shoot on me while we were in a relationship? I have them and you have them too.
Augusta tried to take my own life, after I took her phone to read her messages with you after I suspected a foul play, She was ready to end my life to keep those secret with her mom, if my hand didn’t caught that knife I would have been the dead one today but God no be man.
My only regret was retaliating after catching that knife which i feel bad about and that made me a murderer today which I never denied, despite all this thing I have been try to still cover up and not say a word. I was ready to pay but only on fair grounds before you tried to twist the narrative with lies and blackmail which I can’t take anymore.”

Lagos big boy, Killaboi, who confessed to killing his girlfriend Austa, has accused her mother of being the cause of her death.
This comes after the mother, Cordelia Okonye took to social media to cry out for justice after her daughter was laid to rest.
She shared her desire to see her daughter’s killer served with justice on her Instagram page as she accused him of running from judgement as opposed to owning up to his mistake.
Reacting to this, Killaboi alleged on his Instagram page that he was done keeping quiet and was ready to set the record straight.
According to him, the mother was trying to silence him in private and share a partial truth to the public.
He shared a series of lengthy posts on his Instagram story as he accused Austa’s mother of only being interested in laundering her image and not justice as she claims.
He wrote;
“After enduring weeks of intense emotions, including trauma and fear, my mind is a bit clear now even though I choose silence all these while.
Now I have come to realize that setting the record straight might be the best course of action. Originally, my intention was to protect her family and avoid causing further harm, but 1 find myself unable to continue with that approach any longer cause I have constant be pushed to the wall with lies by the media, There have been false accusations against me, @cordeliaokonye has been trying to frame me with different stuff including claims that I used her for rituals and that her body parts were missing.
However the Nigerian police has already carried out an
Autopsy which has show no single body part was cut neither was any part missing as it was solely a fight.
@cordeliaokonye acts like she wants justice for Augusta but the truth is you don’t want it, your image and what people would say is much more important to you than justice for Augusta, cause if you want justice you know I’ve been willing and ready from day one, I have always maintained I’m ready to cooperate but only based on the truth and not what you want people yo believe.
How can you say you want justice but have been trying to silence me in private from saying the truth, you want me to turn myself in but not mention the part you played.
You want me to turn myself in but still don’t want me to say what I saw, still don’t want me to say that secret Augusta was going to quench me for
No it doesn’t make sense to me ma, this cross we must carry it together but for now let’s keep pretending I used Augusta for rituals as you want the public to believe.
I have reached a point where I no longer care about the potential consequences. My mind is made up and the truth must be spoken, no matter how painful it may be. I have nothing to lose again and I’m ready to take my own life at any given time cause I don’t even wanna be here anymore.
I am determined to reveal what truly happened.
It pains me to acknowledge that Augusta might still be alive today if it weren’t for her mother and actions. I firmly believe her mother to be an evil woman, using the façade of a pastor as a cover-up for her evil deeds.
Augusta would still be here today if not for @cordeliaokonye, Augusta might have died by my hands out of mistake but she played a huge part in it and was the cause of everything!
Augusta was ready to end my own life after i discovered the biggest secret about she and her mom.
She preferred to kill me in order to uphold that secret but failed and she knows it cause I was in a 17 min convo with her from the previous day!
I don’t know how to put words together on text or be expressive on text that much but maybe if I speak, people would understand things better and what truly went down, so I have decided to do a press conference today, please any reputable personality should grant me and audience on live today I will talk
1 will speak and say nothing but the truth, with proves to back them, there are voice recordings, chats and even videos and every single build up that lead to this tragedy!
@cordeliaokonye you can’t play me anymore, since you want to blackmail my to the media and sell them lies it’s fine.
Maybe it’s time to spill it all
Nothing is left to hide again.
I’ll fight to the last breath defending the truth”
Nigerian businesswoman, Sandra Iheuwa, has called out her ex-husband, Steve Thompson, after he filed for joint custody of their son.
The couple, who got married in August 2021 but saw their marriage end after only five months, have been embroiled in numerous online conflicts since their marriage crashed. They have a son together.
In a recent update, Steve has filed for joint custody of their son and requested a change of their son’s surname to his own. Additionally, he has offered to cover his school fees and provide an annual child support payment of #600,000.
Reacting to the court document, Sandra took to her Instagram page to criticize him for his unreasonable demands and offer to contribute a ‘meagre’ N600,000 for his annual upkeep.
She also emphasized that she gave birth to her son in the U.S., so he would need to go through the U.S. Supreme Court if he wants his son’s name changed to his.
Sandra, who also shares a child with music executive Ubi Franklin, wrote,
“Omo let me laugh it’s not even the annual upkeep of 600k dey laugh me na the joint custody and change of name…..na to drag me to American court be that because my son wasn’t even born in Nigeria. It’s actually the audacity for me. For a child you abandoned and refused to even sign the birth certificate at the time of birth.
