Mr Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, the father of late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has shared details of events leading up to his son’s death.
In an interview with social media activist Vincent Otse Martins also known as VeryDarkMan, Aloba revealed that around 4:30 pm on the fateful day, he received a call from Mohbad’s mother, informing him that the late singer was sick and hospitalized.
The late singer’s father stated that he immediately made plans to meet them at the hospital to be by his son’s side.
However, upon arriving at the hospital, Aloba recounted that he was met with a sudden change in the narrative, stating that instead of being able to see his son, he was told by Mohbad’s uncle, Darosha, that the late singer was improving and he could return home.
Aloba said, “On the 12th of september, Iya Mohbad called me around 4:30 pm to tell me that my son is not well and is being hospitalized, so I told her I am at a bus stop she should come and meet me so we can go and meet my son where he is. When we got to Osapa London, Darosha Iya told me that my son is getting better now and I can go home around 7:00 pm.”
He said the shift in information made him feel uneasy, which led him to believe that something was terribly wrong.
“I was already sensing my son was dead, because of how they kept calling me that my son is not well and all of a sudden they said he was fine that I can go back,” he explained.
Aloba further explained that his suspicions heightened when he arrived at the house, only to find the entrance blocked and he was initially prevented from entering.
According to him, when he finally made his way upstairs, where he and the late singer Mohbad usually met, he was met with the grim reality of the situation.
“I decided to go with them to the house because I wanted to attend a meeting, when I got there, they blocked the entrance, I started introducing myself so I can get space to move, because the place was crowded.
“So when I went upstairs because that is where I and Mohbad usually met, I noticed that the duvet was soaked in blood,” Aloba recounted.
He further revealed that after giving his statement at the police station, he was denied access to the police report, allegedly because he had not reported his son’s death immediately.
“We went to the police station. When I was giving my statement, someone came out and said they should not give me the police report because I did not report his death on time.”
He claimed that Wunmi, Mohbad’s wife, had possession of the doctor’s report, but chose to remain silent about it.
Aloba alleged that his son’s body was embalmed at home without his consent and the morgue refused to accept his body that night.
