Joseph Aloba, the father of the late singer, Ilerioluwa, popularly called Mohbad, has revealed that his life got better after the death of his son.
Aloba stated this during an interview with media personality Akin Abolade, also known as Mrlilgaga, on Wednesday.
“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.
“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.
“Those were the things he was meant to be doing for me, but they didn’t allow him to do them,” he added.
Clarifying insinuations towards those accused, Mohbad’s father mentioned that he was laying emphasis on his son’s wife (Wunmi) and her family, adding, “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.
“Two weeks before his death, he took me to the house he wanted to buy and told me he was going to buy it after the completion of his tour, for which I know he had completely paid.”
He also stated that the birth of Mohbad inspired him to become a singer after the money from the naming ceremony was stolen, emphasising that his late son began singing backing for him at the age of one.
Aloba stated that he is a carpenter, singer, and pastor, despite not having a church. He also mentioned that his son had promised to create one for him before he died.
The father took the media celebrity on a tour of his new block industry, showing off his new truck and Toyota Highlander vehicle, both of which were given to him by Nigerians who were saddened by his son’s death.
MohBad died in Lagos state on September 11, 2023, at the age of 26.
On September 19, 2023, the Lagos State Police Command arrested an unlicensed nurse who had administered a tetanus vaccine to him, as reported by his spouse.
