Mother Of Late MohBad Accuses Father Of Halting Son’s Burial
Mrs. Olumiyi, the mother of the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, known as MohBad, has claimed that the deceased’s father is hindering efforts to give him a proper burial following the completion of an autopsy on his body.
Olumiyi’s statements, captured in a widely circulated internet video on Tuesday, aimed to garner support from Nigerians urging the singer’s father to collect their son’s body from the Lagos State Police Command.
According to her, MohBad’s body has been released following the completion of the autopsy by the police-appointed pathologist.
She cried out, “Nigerians, please assist me in demanding that my son’s corpse be released. I hope and pray that you will not also see the deaths of your children.
“After the autopsy was finished, Mohbad’s body was made available for burial, but despite my repeated pleas, his father has refused to allow it.
“When I visited the Lagos State Commissioner of Police last week, he informed me that Mohbad’s remains had already been made public and questioned whether or not we were happy that he had passed away.” she continued.
She expressed her distress, mentioning that MohBad’s body had been unsettled since its exhumation, leaving her without peace of mind.
She appealed to young people, both locally and internationally, and friends of the former Marlian Music artist, seeking their assistance as the situation escalated.
Joseph Aloba, the late singer’s father, previously stated that no one should proceed with burying his son’s remains without his consent.
MohBad passed away on September 12 amidst controversies, leading the police to establish an investigation team to ascertain the cause of death and unravel the truth surrounding the controversies.
