Seasoned Nigerian actress, Iyabo Ojo has lashed out at controversial journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, over her comments relating to late musician, Mohbad.
Iyabo had earlier visited a funeral home with colleague, Tonto Dikeh to buy a casket for the deceased artiste ahead of the burial ceremony, and she captured it in an Instagram live session on Thursday.
The movie star said; “We are still seeking justice for Mohbad. But while that’s going, we have to make preparations for how he would be properly buried.”
But the clip caught the attention of Olunloyo who criticised her via Twitter (X) for making the video public. The self-styled investigative journalist wondered whether Iyabo Ojo would allow it if it were her child who had died.
“Iyabo is a disgrace to Yoruba culture desecrating our culture to go buy a casket for her own children’s agemate. The Rivers woman Tonto is already evil with no knowledge of our culture. I’m sure if Festus or Priscilla died she would not like anyone to videotape the casket shopping and post it online,” she wrote.
In reaction to her post, Iyabo threatened to ensure that Olunloyo spends the rest of her life in jail if she ever mentioned her children’s name again or wished them death.
She said; “Kem kem ex-convict, I hear say you dey Ghana. Why are you running now? The next time you mention my children’s name or wish them death, Ogun lo ma pa e danu la se edumare. Madam, fake jonalist.
“You will not come out of prison this time around, you will go back to your original home. I promise you that. Abeg, who knows her current location DM me. Them no go cover your own face enter naija for night, it will be broad daylight you go enter dey cry.”
Kemi Olunloyo was detained in prison in 2017 and it took the intervention of celebrity blogger, Linda Ikeji for her to regain her freedom.
