Things are heating up again in the Mohbad justice saga, and this time, actor Jigan Baba Oja is right in the middle of it.
Just hours after VeryDarkMan (VDM) accused him of being a member of a WhatsApp group that allegedly leaked his nudes and orchestrated his arrest, angry Nigerians stormed Jigan’s TikTok page and got it taken down.
VDM had earlier alleged that after Mohbad’s death, a WhatsApp group was created with Iyabo Ojo as the admin. According to him, the group allegedly included Davido’s PRO Dre, Tonto Dikeh, K-Solo, Samklef, Aloma, Jigan, Iyabo’s lawyer, and Bella Shmurda’s rep Pumping.
VDM claimed the same platform was used to spread false narratives, blackmail him, and cover up Mohbad’s real cause of death. He also claimed two people in the group knew what truly happened to Mohbad.
Reacting to the bombshell, Jigan took to TikTok Live to defend himself. Jigan said:
“I joined that group because I genuinely wanted justice for Mohbad.”
“The group was created two weeks after he died. I was careful not to accuse anyone. I was only trying to find out the truth.”
He also added that he later got tired when it became clear that justice wasn’t coming, so he went silent. He continued:
“Nothing is hidden in the group. We were only talking about how to get Justice but when I saw that Justice was not forthcoming, I got tired and stopped talking in the group.
Verydarkman I don’t know anything about Mohbad’s demise. You and l are doing the same job of helping people.”
“If I hadn’t joined the group and Mohbad eventually got justice, people would say I didn’t care. I’ve always fought for him on my page.”
Despite his explanation, the backlash was swift. Nigerians reported his TikTok account en masse, and by Friday night, his page was banned. See screenshot of Jigan’s TikTok profile below:
