Mohbad‘s father, Joseph Aloba, has stated that his son should not be buried without his permission, at least not until justice is served.
In a TikTok viral video, the enraged father pleaded with Nigerians to halt their protests over the late singer’s burial.
He insisted that no one should bury his son’s body without his permission because the fight for justice is still ongoing.
He said,
“I’ve been hearing that some people want to go and carry Mohbad’s body. Please, when this boy was alive, he was still my son, and when he died, he still retained my name. Nobody should go there and take his body, please. If they want to do anything there, I’ll be the one to authorize them. Nobody should go and carry MohBad’s body from there. I beg all Nigerians, nobody should go there; we need justice for Mohbad. Let this justice take place, and the DNA test is necessary. That’s it.”
His video follows singer Bella Shmurda’s tweet on November 18, 2023, in which he emphasises that the autopsy results have not been released since the singer died in September.
Dissatisfied with the slow pace of things, the singer requested that Mohbad’s body be released for a proper funeral, which the late singer’s father has now denied.
Shmurda’s tweet read, “It’s been over 2 months since Moh died, and his body was taken in for an autopsy, but yet no result, which is fine. But please release his body. That boy needs a befitting burial and to go to rest finally. Naija police, what’s going on? We need an answer here. Where is the result? Where is his body?”
Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad, was a rising star who died on September 12, 2023, under’mysterious circumstances.’
Following protests from his fans and social media followers, his body was exhumed for an autopsy shortly after.
The results have yet to be released two months later, much to the chagrin of his friends and fans.
