Abosede, the mother of the late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, widely known as Mohbad, has made startling revelations in an exclusive interview with The Punch, suggesting that her son’s death was prematurely declared by his father, Joseph, before his actual demise.

In the tell-all interview titled “Uncensored: Mohbad’s mother opens up on late son, ex-husband, Naira Marley,” Abosede disclosed that she was kept unaware of her son’s death, despite being present in Joseph’s house for 10 days leading up to the tragic incident.

Expressing her grief and confusion over the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s passing, Abosede’s account has brought to light a complex family dynamic and raised questions about the events preceding the untimely death of the rising music star.

Mohbad, who had risen to prominence in the Nigerian music scene and gained attention through his affiliation with the music label Marlian Records, led by Naira Marley, left a significant void in the industry upon his sudden demise.

Abosede recounted, “I actually did not know when my child (Mohbad) died. His father did not tell me. I was in his house for 10 days, shortly before he died. I ran back there when I heard that he had died. I was the one who called his father and siblings to inform them. I brought them all together.”

“I called their father to come and see me with all the children despite all he had done to me. I did not have the strength to fight with him because I found happiness in my children, and because they are grown-up, I brought them all together. But, their father separated us.”

“I believe that my son was not dead as of the time he was buried. I actually told them not to bury him, but they refused. If they had not buried him at the time he did, I believe he would have lived. Joseph is actually my problem. I believe that he buried my son before he died.”

Responding to the allegations, 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 clarified that the decision to bury Mohbad swiftly was in accordance with Yoruba customs and revealed that the land where Mohbad was laid to rest belonged to him, adding that he had given it to him to build a church.

Mohbad, who passed away on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27 in Lagos State, left behind a legacy in the Nigerian music industry, with fans and colleagues mourning the loss of a talented artist.
