Abosede, the mother of the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, widely known as Mohbad, has made startling allegations against the father, Joseph, claiming that he buried the late singer before his actual demise.
This fresh revelation came as Nigerians await the autopsy result to unravel the actual cause of his death.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Saturday PUNCH titled, “Uncensored: Mohbad’s mother opens up on late son, ex-husband, Naira Marley,” Abosede revealed that she was unaware of Mohbad’s death despite staying in Joseph’s house for ten days shortly before the singer’s passing.
“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,” she said.
Joseph, on the other hand, cited Yoruba culture as the reason for the swift burial, explaining, “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 is the only land I know him to have owned.”
The late singer’s father clarified that the decision to bury him quickly was in accordance with Yoruba customs. He also revealed that the land where Mohbad was laid to rest was his only property, which he had given to him to build a church.
Mohbad passed away on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27 in Lagos State. Following an investigation by the Lagos State Police Command to determine the cause of his death, Mohbad’s remains were exhumed for an autopsy.
