Iyabo also revealed a second movie premiere is set to take place in the UK on April 25, 2026, as she urged fans and supporters to get their tickets to attend the event. Since then, she has been away from the country, turning up at different events overseas to promote her movie.
However, on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, Iyabo, while responding to a follower, confirmed she is back in Nigeria.
Reacting to a video of the Nollywood actress promoting skincare products, a netizen folatinubu_22, wrote,
"Them no wan make you come 9ja again ni, abi kilole toyi ke."
Responding, Iyabo wrote,
"@folatinubu_22 i don land."
Her return to Nigeria coincided with the controversies that have trailed the reports of comic actor Baba Ijesha welcoming a baby boy with fashion designer CEO Luminee.
Recall that in March 2026, Iyabo Ojo ignored Baba Ijesha's claim about her children.
Baba Ijesha, who expressed deep hurt, revealed that she once trusted him enough to leave her children in his care when they were younger.
