Popular Nollywood actor Jigan Baba Oja has been dropped as a brand ambassador for Rods Hotels and Apartments, following his alleged involvement in a controversial leaked group chat involving justice over the late of singer Mohbad.
The development came just days after social media activist Verydarkman released damning content from a private celebrity group chat, where Jigan, alongside other public figures, was accused of promoting agendas that allegedly worked against the campaign for justice for the late music star.
In response, Rods Hotels and Apartments released an official statement announcing the termination of Jigan’s ambassadorial deal.
The brand cited concerns over the content of the group chat and its alignment with the company’s values.
“In line with our core values of safety, accountability, and guest trust, Rods Apartment officially withdraws its ambassadorial deal with Jigan Baba OJA (JBO),” the statement read.
The hospitality company noted that while they respect due process, they are choosing to act firmly under their commitment to responsibility and public trust.
“This decision comes amid the ongoing investigation and growing public concerns linking JBO to the mysterious death of music star Mohbad. While we respect due process, we believe in taking a firm stand that reflects our commitment to creating a safe and responsible environment for all,” it added.
Rods Hotels reaffirmed their support for the ongoing investigation and urged for truth, transparency, and justice to prevail.
