Mohbad’s Mother in Distress as Father Refuses to Bury Late Singer

The mother of the late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, better known as Mohbad, has made a passionate plea to Nigerians to help her bury her son, who died on September 12, 2023.

She claimed that the singer’s father has refused to release the body for reburial, after the police exhumed it for a forensic investigation.

In a video that went viral on Tuesday, Mohbad’s mother said that the police had conducted an autopsy on the body and handed it over to the father, but he declined to bury it.

She said she had appealed to him several times, but he ignored her. She also said she had reported the matter to the commissioner of police, who scolded her for delaying the burial.

She asked Nigerians, especially mothers and youths, to intervene and persuade the father to let her bury her son, who she said was restless and suffering.

She said she was not asking for money, but for justice and peace for her son. She also lamented that some people were exploiting her son’s death to make money online, by conducting interviews and posting videos.

She appealed to the President Bola Tinubu, to come to her aid and help her bury her son. She said she had nothing against the father, but she left everything to God, who would judge them both. She said her son was a loving and caring child, who took care of her and his family.

“Nigerians, please come to my aid. I pray you all won’t lose your children. They released Mohbad’s body immediately after the autopsy but his dad is the one holding on to him and not allowing us to re-bury him.

“I begged him Severally but he refused then I thought of what to do, I went to the commissioner of police last week to complain , the commissioner even insulted me that are we happy that our son is dead, why have we not buried him, why are we allowing his corpse to be lying there useless and making the dead suffer, but I just let go of what Mohbad dad is doing and saying because I do not want drama and God is my vindicator.

“I am calling on all true mothers and Nigerians at large to please come to my aid so we can bury my son, my son is restless, he is running about, even me I do not have rest of mind, this is the help I want from you all, it’s not as if I cannot reply Mohbad dad in all he has been saying, but I hand over everything to God, he will judge us both, I have a lot to say but I won’t say anything, why will my child d1e and I will be granting interviews and allowing people make money off my d3ad son, a son that loves us, that takes care of us, that fears us, A child that I carried from Gods back.

“I am begging Nigerians not to ignore my son’s corpse, he is not a d3ad goat nor a d3ad dog, he is a Human being,please all the youths and mohbad friends should also support me and let’s bury him, do not let anyone start using his d3ath to cash out, see how my son is being treated , he was beaten to d3ath now see how they are treating his body.

“Baba Tinubu Please come to my aid and help me bury my son so he can have peace and rest. I want you all to help me bury my son. I am not begging for money; I just want my son to rest. I leave the rest to God; he rewards everyone accordingly, and God will avenge his death.

“They are using my son’s death to make money online, so they pray to experience such misfortune too? I told everyone trying to interview me that I was not interested because there was nothing to be happy about my son’s death; they took him from me, and he needs to find rest now and be reburied. Mohbad mother cries out, ” she said in gee native dialect.

Mohbad was a rising star in the Nigerian music industry, who had collaborated with artists like Bella Shmurda, Naira Marley, and Zlatan. He died on September 12, 2023, after he was allegedly beaten to death by some unknown assailants in the Ikorodu area of Lagos. He was buried the next day, but his death sparked outrage and controversy among his fans and colleagues.

The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, ordered a forensic investigation to unravel the cause of his death, and a ten-man team was assigned to exhume his body and conduct a DNA test.

However, the investigation was stalled by a paternity dispute, as the father of the singer demanded a DNA test to confirm the paternity of his only son, Liam Light. This was triggered by a social media commentator, who claimed that Mohbad was not the biological father of Liam Light.

This was triggered by the controversial comment of a social media commentator known as the VeryDarkMan.

Amid the raging storm, Omawunmi, widow of the late singer, broke her silence on the controversial death of her husband.

In a chat which was posted by ace Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, the widow stated that she would rather not talk till the inquest performed on her late husband was complete.

The post read, “Hello ma. I’ve decided not to speak on anything until the 7th of November which is the coroner’s inquest because I do not want any side distraction, all I want is justice for my husband which I believe the Nigerian government are working on, after everything I’ll either grant an interview or tell my own story before the whole world, and also DNA is definitely a must!!!”
