Nigerian actor, Yomi Fabiyi has debunked allegations that he abducted Adura, the brother of late singer, Mohbad, stating that it is a malicious attempt to obstruct justice.
Fabiyi disclosed that the Police obtained an arrest warrant before its officials took Adura into custody.
A viral video captured Mohbad’s mother, Abosede Olumiyi, at the Magistrate’s Court in Ogba, Lagos, accusing Fabiyi of orchestrating Adura’s arrest.
She claimed that unidentified men, believed to be police officers, took her son away and pleaded with Nigerians to help secure his release. She insisted that Adura was innocent of the allegations Fabiyi made against him.
In a statement issued on Thursday by his foundation, ‘Break The Silence,’ Fabiyi refuted the claims, calling them defamatory and misleading.
According to Fabiyi, Adura and two others—Damola Ayinde Habeeb and Damilare Koleosho—were persons of interest in an ongoing homicide investigation led by the Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG Zone 2). He claimed that they had been invited three times for questioning but refused to comply.
“The police obtained a court-issued arrest warrant before apprehending Adura,” Fabiyi stated. “The officers waited outside the court and arrested him professionally without entering the court premises. Adura initially used the court as a shield for hours before surrendering. His mother and lawyer were informed of his destination and allowed to follow the police vehicle.”
Fabiyi urged the public to disregard Mohbad’s mother’s accusations, adding that his legal team would take the appropriate action against her.
