Popular Nigerian actress, Iyabo Ojo has stated that she would not stop lending support to Omowunmi, the widow of the late Nigerian singer, Mohbad, until there is concrete evidence that she has a hand in the demise of her husband.
Recall that Mohbad died on September 12 and was buried the following day.
On September 21, the body of the 27-year-old music star was exhumed by the police for autopsy.
The circumstances surrounding his death have continued to stir up controversies, with many pointing accusing fingers at Omowunmi.
In an Instagram live session, Iyabo Ojo stressed the importance of awaiting legal judgment, and not using social media to judge the widow.
The movie star urged critics to present evidence to the authorities instead of engaging in speculation.
She said, “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.
“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.”
