    Yomi Fabiyi calls out Iyabo Ojo over drug claims on Naira Marley

    Movie producer Yomi Fabiyi has called out his colleague, Iyabo Ojo for alleging that the embattled Naira Marley used to drug her children through food and drinks.

    Iyabo Ojo, who has been vocal in the fight for justice for late singer, MohBad, recently claimed that Naira Marley laced her children’s food with drugs whenever they visited him.

    She alleged the singer gave her two children drugs during their visits and emphasised that she had witnesses who could corroborate her accusations.

    But Yomi Fabiyi questioned why Iyabo Ojo had not taken any action on these allegations if she truly believed them as a mother.

    He also wondered why she was sending her adult children to his house if she harboured concerns about their safety.

    Yomi went on to express his belief that Iyabo Ojo had fabricated these allegations as a means to further implicate Naira Marley.

    He said: “I don’t know why Iyabo was sending her children who are adults to Naira Marley’s house in the first place. She stated that Naira was putting drugs in their food and She called herself a mother.

    “She never came out to fight for her children then…maybe she just cooked up this lie to implicate Naira. Why was her daughter laced with drugs if she was not into drugs already? Which mother will keep quiet in such a situation?

    “The NDLEA and the police heard what she said and they are keeping mute. How will this country get better? I expect The NDLEA to invite her to bring her children and investigate her”.
