Nigeria: First Rememberance - Let Mohbad's Soul Rest Well, Social Media Critic Tells Bloggers

12 September 2024

One year after the death of Nigerian rapper, singer and songwriter, late Ileri-Oluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad, a social media critic, Mr. Ibrahim Koleosho, has appealed to on-line bloggers profiting from the fracas within the Aloba family, to desist from disrespecting the soul of the late singer.

Koleosho, while announcing the activities of programme scheduled for the one year remembrance of the late singer, said the best that could be done to the soul of the late singer was to lay him to rest.

Koleosho, however, urged Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State to intervene in the prolonged fracas between the deceased father, Joseph, mother, Abosede and the wife, Wunmi, saying that would go a long way in getting justice for the soul of the late singer.

He said: "We celebrate the life of the late Ileri Oluwa Aloba, (Mohbad). It is exactly one year today that we lost him.

"The circumstances surrounding his death remain a sad reminder of how life is ephemeral. And it is very sad that the soul of such a talent is still in the morgue, a year after his controversial death.

"As we celebrate his death, we seek justice to the soul of Mohbad. We also seek peace within the family.

"As far as I am concerned, nobody is a winner until Mohbad's body is laid to rest.That is the most important thing that could be done to his soul.

"Governor Sanwo-Olu should help set up a reconciliation committee that would ensure peace within the Aloba family."
