Mohbad’s Father Calls for Interrogation of Mohbad’s Wife and His Brother
Joseph Aloba, the father of the late musician Ilerioluwa Aloba, known professionally as Mohbad, has formally requested that the Nigeria Police interrogate his son’s wife, Omowunmi, and his brother, Adura, regarding the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s untimely death.
During a recent press conference organized by actor Yomi Fabiyi, which aimed to address the pursuit of justice for Mohbad, a video purportedly sent by his brother Adura was presented. This footage has prompted further inquiries into the conditions leading to Mohbad’s demise.
Fabiyi suggested that Adura possesses critical information concerning these circumstances, leading to heightened tensions during the conference, notably between him and Mohbad’s mother, Abosede, over the implications of those allegations.
In response to the unfolding situation, Joseph Aloba issued a statement highlighting his attempts to reach Adura, who was reportedly in the home at the time of Mohbad’s death. He expressed concern over Adura’s unwillingness to discuss the events preceding his son’s passing, emphasizing the importance of transparency regarding the case. Consequently, he has called upon the Nigerian police to summon both Adura and Omowunmi to facilitate a thorough investigation into the matter.
“I am calling on the Nigeria Police to summon my son, Adura Aloba, and Omowunmi Cynthia Adebanjo to provide insights into the death of my son, Ilerioluwa. This is due to the recent world press conference organized by Mr. Yomi Fabiyi regarding the alleged video Adura Aloba reportedly sent to him —suspected to be linked to Mohbad’s tragic demise in his home. Things could have been easy without Mohbad’s mother’s role in obstructing all my efforts to see and reach out to Adura.
“Earlier on, after Mohbad’s death, I and other members of my family made several attempts to communicate with Adura to tell me and the family what happened to his brother on that fateful day. Despite all our efforts, she blocked every avenue through which we could reach him.
“A few days ago, during an interview on STV’s morning show, I expressed my concerns about Adura’s silence. He was in the house when Mohbad passed away, yet he has refused to speak, likely due to the influence of people whose motives, in this case, remain unclear to me and the whole world. This is a clear case of meddling, which is tantamount to obstructing the wheel of justice.”
“I urge the police to provide security to ensure their safety now and whenever they come forward to share knowledge with the authorities. I believe their cooperation and testimony could be instrumental in shedding light on the circumstances leading to Mohbad’s death.”
