Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello Iyabo was born on April 27, 1967. Her mother’s name is Esther Oluremi. Iyabo studied at Lagos and Kaduna. She obtained a degree in Veterinary Medicine from the University of Ibadan. She also studied abroad in California and New York and obtained a Ph.D.

 Before returning to her homeland in 2003, Iyabo conducted several clinical research works in the United States. In 2003, her car was attacked by some unidentified men. Fortunately, Iyabo was not inside the vehicle at the time, but 5 other people lost their lives in the incidence. 

The criminals have not been caught till date. Iyabo participated in senatorial elections in Nigeria. Prior to that, she served as a Commissioner for Health in Ogun State. She recorded success in the 2007 elections and became a Nigerian senator representing Ogun state. Some people challenged her election, but the tribunal confirmed that the victory was fair.




In 2008, she was charged with allegations of financial crimes for embezzlement of state money from the Ministry of Health. At the end of the year, not all funds reportedly missing got returned to treasury. The sum of N300m was declared missing and it was believed that the officials of the Ministry distributed the money amongst themselves.


 The Minister and Deputy at that time returned the money and resigned. Iyabo, however, did not return the N10m allegedly appropriated to her and claimed that the money was spent on legitimate purposes. The case was later closed in 2009. She insisted that the case was brought up to blackmail and harass her because she is the daughter of a former president.
