Nigerian actress Iyabo Ojo has stated that she will keep up her support for Omowunmi, the late singer Mohbad’s wife.
As of September 12, Mohbad passed away. The next day, he was laid to rest. The 27-year-old musician’s body was dug up by the police for an autopsy on September 21.
His death’s circumstances have sparked ongoing debates, with many suspecting Omowunmi of being responsible.
Ojo stressed during a live session that she will continue to back Omowunmi until authorities provide verifiable proof of her guilt. Instead of speculating, she encouraged people to provide the authorities with evidence.
The actress emphasised the value of waiting for a court ruling, saying that people shouldn’t condemn others on social media.
“A lot of people are angry that I’m supporting Wunmi. Until the law proves her guilty, there is concrete evidence that she is guilty I will continue to support her,” she said.
“Why would I want to be wicked to someone else’s child when the law has not found her guilty?
“If they like they should drag, curse me, I will not stop being nice to her. Until the judge says otherwise with evidence, proof beyond every reasonable doubt that she is guilty.
“So if I join to crucify someone’s child when I have mine and tomorrow you all find out that she is innocent. Do you think an apology will repair the damages caused, and take away the emotional trauma?
“It can’t, there are something that apology can’t repair. So we have to be mindful of how we want to destroy someone’s life. I do not make social media judgments, there are laws in the country.
“Also everyone who has said they have evidence, take it to the right authorities and let us see, not side talks.”
