Abosede, the mother of the late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad, claimed in an exclusive interview with The Punch that her son’s father, Joseph, prematurely declared him dead before his actual demise.
In the tell-all interview titled “Uncensored: Mohbad’s mother opens up on late son, ex-husband, Naira Marley,” Abosede revealed that she was kept in the dark about her son’s death, despite being in Joseph’s house for 10 days leading up to the incident…[CONTINUE READING HERE]>>
The late singer’s mother expressed her grief and confusion over the circumstances surrounding her son’s passing, indicating a complex family dynamic and raising questions about the events leading to Mohbad’s untimely death.
Mohbad, a rising star in the Nigerian music scene, had gained attention with his talent and association with the music label Marlian Records, led by Naira Marley.
His sudden death sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, with fans and colleagues mourning the loss of a promising artist.
Abosede shared, “I actually didn’t know when my child (Mohbad) died. His father didn’t tell me. I was in his house for 10 days, shortly before he died. I hurried back there when I heard about his death. I was the one who called his father and siblings to inform them. I gathered them all together.
“I called their father to come and see me with all the children, despite everything he had done to me. I didn’t have the strength to fight with him because I found happiness in my children, and since they are adults, I gathered them all together. But their father separated us.
“I believe that my son wasn’t actually dead at the time he was buried. I even told them not to bury him, but they refused. If they hadn’t buried him when they did, I believe he would still be alive. Joseph is actually my problem. I believe he buried my son before he died.”
Aloba cited Yoruba culture as the reason for the swift burial, explaining that it is customary not to delay the burial of a deceased person when both parents are still alive.
He mentioned that if Mohbad had passed away at an older age, the option of keeping his body in a mortuary for a later date might have been considered.
The late singer’s father further revealed that the land where his son was laid to rest belonged to Mohbad and that he had given it to him to build a church.
He clarified that the decision to bury him swiftly was in accordance with Yoruba customs.
Joseph said, “In Yoruba land, his corpse is not the kind to be kept when both of his parents are still alive.
“That land where Mohbad was buried is his only land, that’s the only land I know he owned.
“Indeed, he gave me the land to build my church because we had both agreed to build the church there, and since that’s the only land I know he owned.”
Mohbad died on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27 in Lagos State…[CONTINUE READING HERE]>>
