As the first anniversary of Nigerian artist Mohbad Aloba’s death approaches on September 12th, his family has expressed a clear desire for a quiet and respectful commemoration.
The late singer’s mother has stressed that the decision on how to mark the day ultimately lies with Mohbad’s father, urging fans and supporters to follow his lead.
In a video shared on Wednesday, Mohbad’s mother conveyed the family’s grief, asking for prayers rather than elaborate celebrations. She emphasized that the wishes of Mohbad’s father are final regarding how the anniversary should be observed.
“Whatever Mohbad’s dad says is the final. We don’t want any elaborate celebration over our son’s remembrance. The best you can do is to pray for him. You all should please leave us alone and let us settle our family,” she said.
