Singer’s father says life improved after Mohbad’s death
Joseph Aloba, father of the late singer Ilerioluwa, popularly known as Mohbad, shared that his life has improved since his son’s passing.
He disclosed this during an interview with media personality Akin Abolade, also known as Mrlilgaga, on Wednesday.
Aloba explained, “Yes, my life became better after Mohbad’s death because he was my friend and had plans to do so much for me.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t allowed to fulfill those plans. After his passing, it feels as though his spirit and God have been sending people to help me.”
He attributed the car and other gifts he now possesses to the kindness of people inspired by God and Mohbad’s spirit.
“These were things Mohbad intended to provide for me, but circumstances didn’t permit him to,” he added.
Aloba also shed light on controversies surrounding Mohbad’s wife, Wunmi, and her family. He accused them of holding onto Mohbad’s properties, including a piece of land meant for a church.
He noted that blocks intended for the church were eventually used to construct his son’s burial site.
Aloba recounted how, just two weeks before Mohbad’s death, his son showed him a house he planned to purchase after completing his tour, for which he had already made full payment.
Reflecting on his own life, Aloba shared that Mohbad’s birth inspired him to pursue music after the funds from the naming ceremony were stolen.
Mohbad even became his backup singer at the tender age of one.
Aloba, who identifies as a carpenter, singer, and pastor without a church, revealed that Mohbad had promised to build him one.
He proudly showcased his newly established block industry, a truck, and a Toyota Highlander gifted by compassionate Nigerians in response to his loss.
Additionally, he mentioned releasing nine songs since his son’s demise.
Mohbad tragically passed away on September 11, 2023, in Lagos at just 26 years old. Following his death, a nurse accused of administering a tetanus injection to him was arrested by the Lagos State Police Command on September 19, 2023, and found to be unlicensed.
