Nollywood’s Iyabo Ojo Receives Death Threats Over 2023 Election Stance

Nollywood Actress Iyabo Ojo Reports Life Threats Over Political Stance

Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo claims she faces death threats linked to her political opinions during Nigeria’s recent presidential election. The prominent actress publicly voiced her concerns about receiving intimidating messages targeting herself and her family members.

Ojo allegedly connects these threats to her vocal political stance during the 2023 presidential campaign. She openly declared her support for specific candidates and actively participated in political discussions on social media platforms. The actress maintains that her political expression has triggered hostile reactions from opposing groups.

The businesswoman also reportedly links a recent fire incident at her Lagos shop to her political activities. Her retail establishment suffered significant damage when flames gutted the building, though authorities have not confirmed any connection to political motivations. Ojo suggests the timing raises suspicions about potential sabotage.

Beyond the shop fire, Ojo claims she continues advocating for justice in unspecified cases despite mounting pressure. She reportedly refuses to remain silent on political matters that affect Nigeria’s democratic processes. The actress emphasizes that citizens deserve the right to express political opinions without fear.

Nigerian celebrities increasingly face backlash for political involvement, with several reporting similar intimidation tactics. Social media platforms amplify both support and criticism when entertainment figures engage in political discourse. Security agencies have not publicly commented on Ojo’s specific allegations or provided details about ongoing investigations into the reported threats.
