The mother of the late musician Ilerioluwa Aloba, famously known as Mohbad, Mrs. Abosede Aloba, revealed in a coroner’s court on Wednesday that she and the singer had a distant relationship initially.
Abosede explained that her relationship with Mohbad’s father had soured, which had kept them apart. However, she shared that in 2019, they began to reconnect.
She provided her testimony during a coroner’s inquest regarding her son’s untimely passing. She recollected that the musician was laid to rest the day following his death on September 12 at the age of 27. His demise has sparked controversies, leading the Lagos State Government to initiate a coroner’s inquest.
Mrs. Abosede Aloba recounted that she and Joseph, the late singer Mohbad’s father, visited the residence of singer Naira Marley to inquire about the disputes between him and Mohbad. She revealed that she encouraged Mohbad to seek assistance from Pasuma due to the constant mistreatment and beatings by Naira Marley. Pasuma assured them he would intervene.
Mrs. Abosede Aloba further disclosed that Mohbad and his wife, Wunmi, frequently had conflicts related to infidelity, which was the primary concern she heard from his wife before his passing.
She stated, “I didn’t have a relationship with Mohbad for many years due to a strained relationship with his dad, but we reconnected in 2019. After leaving the record label in 2022, he confided in me about the severe beatings he endured. He asked me not to speak up for fear of reprisal. I advised him to contact Pasuma to report Naira Marley’s assaults, and he did. Pasuma promised to mediate. The only person he had issues with was Naira Marley. The video you saw of me and his dad in his house was our attempt to understand the conflicts he had with our son. He and his wife, Wunmi, had frequent fights due to infidelity. That was the main concern Wunmi raised, claiming my son had an attraction to other women.”
