Singer Seun Kuti has criticised actress Iyabo Ojo for allegedly politicising the death of musician Mohbad.
He accused her of using the tragedy to fuel a personal agenda against singer Naira Marley, rather than seeking genuine justice for Mohbad.
Seun Kuti questioned the reliability of government reports on Mohbad’s cause of death, suggesting conflicting accounts.
He challenged Iyabo Ojo to direct her energy towards creating positive change in society, rather than pursuing a personal vendetta.
He said: “I don’t do personal things because I can’t stand it…You people politicised Mohbad’s death.
“I don’t believe that you politicised his death because you were trying to find justice for him, I believe that it’s just a movement against Naira Marley at the end of the day. Nobody can tell me otherwise, or anything other than that.
“Do you accept the government’s findings? I still found a report that stated that his cause of death was substance abuse. If you believe the government’s findings, then what are we doing here?” he asked the actress.
He added: “Now, where is the ‘Justice for Mohbad’ movement? Where is that energy that you people used then? Because I feel that if you can use that energy against Naira Marley, you can use your influence to quench bad things in our society. But you people have an agenda!”.
