Nollywood actor Yomi Fabiyi has stirred fresh controversy after claiming he is in possession of a video allegedly showing how late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, was killed.
Fabiyi made the assertion in a video shared on social media, where he issued a direct appeal to President Bola Tinubu to intervene in what he described as an attempt to “cover up” the circumstances surrounding the singer’s death.
According to the actor, the clip was originally sent to him in what he believes was an attempt to extort him. He added that he had previously written to President Tinubu in May 2025, insisting that Mohbad was murdered—a claim he said prompted the Presidency to order the Inspector-General of Police to investigate the matter thoroughly.
“In May 2025, I wrote to you that Mohbad was murdered. Part of the video was sent to me in an attempt to extort me. Your office directed the Inspector-General of Police to investigate, harmonise, and prosecute,” Fabiyi said.
He further alleged that investigators at the Force
Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) in Abuja had reviewed the case file and identified key suspects linked to an alleged cover-up.“As of November 2025, after the FCID noted key suspects already complicit in the cover-up, the wife of the deceased turned herself in. Now they want to cover it up. They are even asking the same suspects to write a petition against me over illegal arrests,” he claimed.
Fabiyi accused some police officers of attempting to intimidate him because of the evidence he claims to possess. According to him, certain individuals are trying to “silence” him to prevent the video from reaching the authorities.
“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,” he added.
His video quickly went viral, prompting widespread reactions across social media, with many users urging him to submit the alleged evidence to investigators rather than issuing emotional public appeals.
