Speaking further on what he did after Adura made the financial demand from him, he said:

"The police advised me to write a petition which I did and submitted to Panti. From Panti, I went to the Lagos Police Command because I was the one who was about to be swindled and they informed me about their investigation."

The movie star also spoke about Damola Ayinde, whom Adura accused of hacking his TikTok account, which was used to send the chats to him.

"It was at the police command I got to know about Damola Ayinde, who was arrested for impersonation and he was one of their associates. When the police shared how Damola had access to Adura's TikTok. I said I have heard but I did not believe the story. I said that he should be charged to court."

Fabiyi further shared an update about his decision to pursue justice for Mohbad's death. He said the person he felt could help him confirm Mohbad's home interior informed Adura about his plans.

"The person I was confiding in to confirm Mohbad's interior went to confide in Adura and his associates. It was Wunmi's elder sister Karimot I was sharing the information with. I thought she was looking for justice for Mohbad too. I think when she realised that it may bring her sister down, she backed out. I suspected that they threatened Adura and he said he was not the one chatting me up, which is not my business. If it was an attempt to swindle me or not is secondary."
