Mohbad’s dad urges police to summon late singers wife & brother, Adura

• Actor Yomi Fabiyi’s press conference on Mohbad’s justice featured a video allegedly sent by his brother Adura, raising further questions about Mohbad’s de@th.

• Fabiyi accused Adura of knowing about the singer’s de@th, leading to a clash between Mohbad’s mother, Abosede, and Fabiyi during a press conference.

Joseph Aloba, the father of the late artist Ilerioluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad, has urged the Nigeria Police to call upon the deceased’s wife, Omowunmi, and his brother, Adura, to shed light on the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death.

During a recent press conference organized by actor Yomi Fabiyi to advocate for justice for Mohbad, a video purportedly sent by the late singer’s brother Adura was presented, which raised further questions regarding the circumstances of Mohbad’s demise.

Fabiyi subsequently claimed that Adura possessed knowledge pertinent to the singer’s death. This assertion led to a confrontation between Mohbad’s mother, Abosede, and Fabiyi during the press conference over the allegations directed at Adura.

In response, Mohbad’s father issued a statement indicating that his efforts to reach out to Adura, who was present at the time of Mohbad’s passing, had been hindered. He expressed his unease regarding Adura’s reticence, noting that he had not disclosed any information about the events leading up to Mohbad’s death.

He reiterated his call for the Nigerian police to summon both Mohbad’s brother and the late singer’s wife for questioning.

The statement read, “I am calling on the Nigeria Police to summon my son, Adura Aloba and Omowunmi Cynthia Adebanjo, to provide insights into the death of my son, Ilerioluwa. This is due to the recent world press conference organised by Mr Yomi Fabiyi regarding the alleged video Adura Aloba reportedly sent to him —suspected to be linked to Mohbad’s tragic demise in his home. Things could have been easy without Mohbad’s mother’s role in obstructing all my efforts to see and reach out to Adura.

“Earlier on, after Mohbad’s death, I and other members of my family made several attempts to communicate with Adura to tell me and the family what happened to his brother on that fateful day. Despite all our efforts, she blocked every avenue through which we could reach him.

“A few days ago, during an interview on STV’s morning show, I expressed my concerns about Adura’s silence. He was in the house when Mohbad passed away, yet he has refused to speak, likely due to the influence of people whose motives, in this case, remain unclear to me and the whole world. This is a clear case of meddling, which is tantamount to obstructing the wheel of justice.”

Mr Aloba added: “I urge the police to provide security to ensure their safety now and whenever they come forward to share knowledge with the authorities. I believe their cooperation and testimony could be instrumental in shedding light on the circumstances leading to Mohbad’s death.”
