Wednesday, January 15, 2025 - Joseph Aloba, father of the late musician, Ilerioluwa Aloba popularly known as Mohbad, has revealed that his life took a significant turn for the better following his son’s tragic death.
Mohbad d!ed under controversial circumstances on September 11, 2023, at
the age of 26.
In a new interview with media personality, Akin Abolade, Aloba reflected
on the changes in his life, saying divine intervention was his gain following
his son’s death.
“Let me just say yes, my life got better after Mohbad’s death because he
is my friend. He had it in plan to do many things for me but they didn’t allow
him to do them. After his death, it was the spirit of Mohbad, and that of God
combined together that began to send people to assist me,” he said.
He disclosed that his new assets including a car, truck and other items
were gifted to him by compassionate Nigerians.
“Even the car and everything I have now, it was people that gave them to
me and it is beyond ordinary. So it is the spirit of Mohbad and God that led
those people to give me all I have now,” he added.
Aloba also sheds light on the struggles Mohbad faced before his death,
noting that his son’s plans were often hindered.
He alleged that Mohbad’s wife, Wunmi, and her family control much
of the late singer’s property.
“They did a lot concerning that boy (Mohbad). All his landed property is
in their possession. Even the land he bought for me to build a church, I forced
him to buy and mould the blocks on it, which was later used to bury him,” he
said.
Aloba further recalled how Mohbad planned to buy him a house after
completing his tour, mentioning that the purchase was already paid for before
his death.
Reflecting on his life journey, Aloba said that the birth of Mohbad
marked a turning point as he became a singer after money from Mohbad’s naming
ceremony was stolen, and his late son served as his backup singer from the age
of one.
