Last week there was a trending news about the owner of Instablog9ja been revealed to be John Abayomi of Punch Newspaper, well it seems Linda Ikeji has made another mistake again.
Linda Ikeji has come out to say the name, John Abayomi who was mistakenly identified by his picture as the owner of Instablog9ja is false. The real owners are John Abayomi Aruleba and Tosin Dotun Adeyemi not John Abayomi of Punch Newspaper.

Retraction and correction: John Abayomi Aruleba is the owner of Instablog9ja not John Abayomi
In an article on Linda Ikeji’s Blog titled “LIB exclusive: Meet the owner of Instablog9ja – John Abayomi” published on November 15, 2018 John Abayomi was mistakenly identified by his picture as the owner of Instablog9ja.
This mistake was as a result of the exact similarities in the names of John Abayomi who is an Online Editor with Punch and another John Abayomi Aruleba who is the actual owner of Instablog9ja.
The picture identification mistake from our staff was sadly as a result of the uncanny yet not uncommon similarities in the names of these two individuals.
LIB is happy to set the record straight, take full responsibility for the mix-up as we tender our unreserved apology to John Abayomi of Punch Newspapers for any inconvenience this mistake has caused.
Our publication was meant to reveal the identity of John Abayomi Aruleba (pictured above), the owner of instablog9ja who shares the same business address as his father, Dr Aruleba owner of Aruking herbal herbs with business address in Lagos.
The fact however still remains that John Abayomi Aruleba runs Instablog9ja with his partner, Tosin Dotun Adeyemi
