Joseph Aloba, father of late rapper, Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba, aka MohBad, has revealed why the late 27-year-old artiste was buried less than 24 hours after his death.
According to the grieving father, there were many hurdles on the way including not getting a space at the morgue.
Speaking in an interview with BBC Yoruba, Aloba disclosed how he was informed very late about his son’s death and abortive efforts in getting a police report.
He said, “By the time I got to his house, it was 10 pm and I saw a lot of crowds. We were denied a police report at the station, we tried to take him to the mortuary, but there was no space, I couldn’t be watching him in the house. I had to bury him. Nigerians should forgive me if I offended them. Nobody loves him like me. I have never seen Sam Larry in my life. The first day I went to Naira Marley’s house, Mohbad was eating, and Naira picked a spoon and was eating with him. This really touched me that he loved him so much, but my son told me Naira was evil. When I went to Naira’s room to beg him to forgive my son of whatever he might have done, I didn’t know he was recording me. The first time Sam Larry even beat him, he told me not to say anything.
“Mohbad reported at the police station but nothing was done. Since then, he had always been living in fear. He was beaten again during his video shoot with Zlatan. I need justice for him. As a pastor, I can’t fight this traditionally because of my religion.”
On whether they should conduct a DNA on Mohbad’s son, Liam, the father disclosed it should be carried out since it has become an issue on social media.
“If they want to do the DNA test, let them do it,” he said.
