FROM ACTRESS IYABO OJO: I was invited by The Police over a live video I made few years ago where I said some people should make themselves available for the investigation into Mohbad’s demise. My NGO wrote letters to The Governor, Attorney General of the State, Commissioner of Police etc in which we requested for an investigation into MOH’s de@th and a coroner inquest. I never said any specific person k!lled MOH. Mohbad’s wife, brother and others were also invited by the police. However I can not dictate how the police should conduct their investigations.

It is sad that some individuals have called for my demise, the destruction of my source of livelihood and have incited public v!olence against me and my children. I also received a letter of threat few days to my daughter’s wedding in Tanzania. They now inscribe my name in coffins. Also my opinion in the last elections subjected me to intimidation but I trust God to give me victory. I wish to clarify that I never accused anyone of being responsible for Mohbad’s de@th. I was simply reacting emotionally to disturbing videos that were circulating at the time.

#AFCON

After kicking out the EAC peacekeepers because of their refusal to change the purpose of their mission to Combat, the Crook in Kinshasa misled SADC to deploy combat forces in Eastern DRC! He promised to pay for the deployment, which he never did! South Africa, Malawi, Tanzania, Burundi lost soldiers in the process! Now they are withdrawing from the Disastrous mission under the cover of darkness! Does this look like peace keeping equipment? Tshisekedi is a CROOK, a CRIMINAL, a liability to Africa! He must be removed by any means necessary!

’ll be third person to know if Priscilla is pregnant – Enioluwa

Popular content creator and influencer, Enioluwa Adeoluwa, has said he would be the third person that his bestie, Priscilla Ojo Mkambala, would inform if she is pregnant, after her mom, actress Iyabo Ojo, and her husband, singer Jumax.

The influencer stated this while addressing newsmen in Tanzania recently.

Enioluwa, who is in the country for the final leg of Priscilla and Jumax’s wedding, was asked to confirm Priscilla’s rumoured pregnancy.


The interviewer: “You will be an uncle very soon. Priscilla is pregnant.”

Enioluwa: “The questions you guys ask me shock me so much. Priscy is pregnant? Where? Today is the first day I’m hearing it, too. Upstairs, people were saying Priscy is pregnant.”

The interviewer asked: “You don’t know?”

Enioluwa replied: “I don’t know that she is pregnant. If Priscy is pregnant, I’m sure I am the first person after her mother and her husband to know. She will tell me. I will be the third person to know. She hasn’t told me anything of such sort. But I think if it’s a private issue, then yeah. Everybody wants them to have children. I’m sure when it is the right time, they will have children.”
