The mother of the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, famously known as Mohbad, has made a startling revelation, alleging that her ex-husband, Joseph, buried their son alive before his untimely demise.
In an exclusive and recent interview, “Uncensored: Mohbad’s mother opens up on late son, ex-husband, Naira Marley,” published on Saturday PUNCH.
She disclosed that she did not know the precise day of Mohbad‘s death, even though she had spent 10 days living at Joseph’s home prior to his demise.
Her words;
“I actually did not know when my child (Mohbad) died. His father did not tell me. I was in his house for 10 days, shortly before he died. I ran back there when I heard that he had died. I was the one who called his father and siblings to inform them. I brought them all together.
“I called their father to come and see me with all the children despite all he had done to me. I did not have the strength to fight with him because I found happiness in my children, and because they are grown-up, I brought them all together. But, their father separated us.
“I believe that my son was not dead as of the time he was buried. I actually told them not to bury him, but they refused. If they had not buried him at the time he did, I believe he would have lived. Joseph is actually my problem. I believe that he buried my son before he died,” she added
In an interview, Aloba used Yoruba custom—which calls for a prompt burial while both parents are still living—to support his argument.
He said they could have thought about having a mortuary if Mohbad had died older. The burial place, according to Mohbad’s father, is on his own property, which he was granted for a church.
