Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi, the ruler of Ikate Kingdom, has taken legal action against One Bukky Jesse, Abosede Comfort Ilesanmi, and others for disseminating false information regarding him and the late singer Mohbad’s child.
Last year, allegations surfaced online suggesting that the Oba of Elegushi was the biological father of Mohbad’s son, born to Wunmi, the singer’s widow.
The monarch’s representative had previously addressed the issue, vowing to pursue necessary measures against the accusers.
In line with this, Oba Elegushi has submitted a petition to the police, seeking the arrest of online harassers who have utilized social media platforms to tarnish his reputation with baseless and demeaning accusations.
The petition, acknowledged by the Nigerian Police, specifically targets Abosede Comfort Ilesanmi, who allegedly used a TikTok account to publicly voice out some allegations against Oba Elegushi.
