Yoruba actor Jigan Babaoja has raised alarm over threats to his life after his phone number was leaked online amid the Mohbad-related group chat controversy.

In an Instagram post, Jigan said he’s facing harassment and cyberbullying similar to what late singer Mohbad allegedly endured. He called on the Nigerian Police for protection and vowed to take legal action against those behind the threats.

He said, “This is how they start! This is pure bullying all bcos you want to prove a point! You let my personal number out to your people to keep calling and sending threats to me!

“Exactly what was done to the late Mohbad! @nigeriapoliceforce I’m calling your attention to the number of threats that come to me! Instead of letting you kpai me like you kpai Mohbad, I will start by using all the things in my surroundings to kick against oppression and bullying!

“All these numbers will regret ever coming to this world! Just a few scapegoats and the rest will fondagbe!

“Amount of threats! Clearly shows they will attack me even on the streets! But for the street, I’m fully prepared and I’m aware! But @benjaminhundeyin @nigeriapoliceforce, and all well-meaning Nigerians! Something needs to be done!”
