A Turkey-based Nigerian activist and blogger, Tenny Omo Ologo, has denied involvement in the alleged death threats by some persons against Omowunmi and Liam, widow and son of the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba (Mohbad).
Omo Ologo reacted following a petition to the Lagos State Police Command in December, by activist lawyer, Femi Falana, alleging death threats against Omowunmi.
Though Ologo’s name was not mentioned in the petition, she was listed among those who allegedly threatened to kidnap Omowunmi and her son.
She said: “This plot against me didn’t start now. It started when I made a video about the Canada visa controversy. People can go back to see that video which I did last year. The Mohbad’s issue was just starting then and it was so hot. But nobody knew where it headed because even the police were not helping matters at the time. So, when the family went to court during the inquest, the issue was all over the media.
“It was Mohbad’s DJ that spoke first. And based on the viral news, I did my own analysis and asked questions. When Mohbad’s father and Wunmi spoke to the media, I also did an analysis to cast light on dark areas. Before the inquest started, I got information that Mohbad was planning a musical tour to Canada between September 21 and 25.
“When I got the information, I asked someone who is based in Canada how many days it would take to travel from Nigeria to Canada and the person said it will take two days. Now, if Mohbad had a show in Canada from 21 to 25, he needed to leave Nigeria from 17 or 18.’’
At least, he had to cover two days for the trip and spend the 20th to rest since he had his first show on the 21st. So, the question I asked was how Mohbad died on the 12th. That was where the plot against me started.
“Gistlover also published a story that Mohbad’s hand was swollen following a fight after a show he had the previous night. The news said they could not get Mohbad’s personal physician to attend to him. Eventually, Mohbad died. In the same Gistlover story, it was said that an unknown person requested to have Mohbad’s phone number. The person was quoted to have said there is a contact in Mohbad’s phone which he saved with ‘Doctor’.
“The person said Mohbad used to interact with this ‘Doctor’ on Snapchat, and that the ‘Doctor’ knows many things about Mohbad; and he knew what actually killed Mohbad. About the same time, Gistlover interviewed Wunmi and asked her about Mohbad’s phone. Wunmi told Gistlover that the phone was with Mohbad’s family. The second day, Mohbad’s father denied being with the phone in an interview. He said Mohbad’s phone was with his wife, Wunmi. So, I did a post about the confusion over the phone issue. I did an analysis and asked why the confusion over Mohbad’s phone; why can’t we have the phone and lay the matter to rest if that will help us to resolve the mystery behind Mohbad’s death?
“In the process of analysing the Gistlover story, a woman called me from Canada. It was that woman who revealed to me that the ‘Doctor’ in Mohbad’s phone contact was not a doctor but a show promoter who was behind Mohbad’s planned Canada trip. She said the promoter’s name is Mr George. The woman begged me not to reveal her identity because the said promoter is her brother. She said the promoter is also close to Naira Marley who signed Mohbad on his record label. So, because the promoter knew how Naira Marley could react, he planned to make the Canada tour a secret until Mohbad got to Canada.
“The woman said the promoter also kept Mohbad’s plan a secret because he wanted to make it a surprise to Bella Shmurda who was in Canada at that time. According to the woman, before Mohbad’s Canada visa was ready, the promoter had called him on Saturday, September 9, 2023, to inform him that the visa would be ready the next day. On Monday, September 11, 2023, the woman said the promoter expected Mohbad to have replied to him but he did not. And when they called all his numbers from Sunday till Monday, they were all switched off. Until Tuesday when news came out that Mohbad had died.
“I was sent screenshots of the promoter’s chats with the woman and video of Bella Shmurda with the promoter in Canada to back my reports. I don’t accept information that has no proof on my platform.
“Some people didn’t believe the woman’s story when I narrated it on my show. They came on my show attacking me and claiming that Mohbad was not going to Canada alone, he was going with Wunmi. They said I was just cooking up stories, that Mohbad’s death should not be linked to the Canada visa issue. Someone even called in during my live show and said Mohbad had no show in Canada but the US. That person tried to distract me, saying the Canada information I got was wrong. But I was not bothered because the information I got was valid.
“As I ended my show that night, a woman also sent me the Canada show flier printed by the promoter and claimed that Mohbad was actually travelling to Canada with Wunmi. But I ignored it. I later discovered many things on Instagram that convinced me that, indeed, Mohbad’s death had something to do with the planned Canada tour. My conclusion was that Mohbad’s killers seized the opportunity of the secret travel plans to kill him. All of these I analysed in my post.
“Recently, Wunmi made an update which was published by an online newspaper that some people were bullying and threatening her life, vowing to kidnap her and they were also cursing her baby, Liam. The people mentioned were placed in two categories. The first category was listed in a petition filed by the Falana Chambers. The second persons were mentioned in a news conference. In this category, my name was mentioned. They said I was among those threatening Wunmi with death and kidnap via phone calls.
“And my response to that claim was that anyone who has any of my video shows where I posted Wunmi and her son and threatened them should produce it. Then, the number which they said was used to call and threaten Wunmi, why have they not produced it, including the voice notes they claimed was used to threaten her? At least, they will be able to identify the callers’ voices from the notes. Meanwhile, I have video proof of how Wunmi’s people were placing curses on my person and others.”
