I started relating well with my son, Mohbad, in 2019 — Mother testifies

Mrs Abosede Aloba, the mother of deceased singer Ilerioluwa Aloba (a.k.a Mohbad), on Wednesday told a coroner’s court that her relationship with the late singer was not cordial for a long time.

Abosede said that the soured relationship was because Mohbad’s father, Joseph, took him away and instructed him not to contact her.

She, however, told the Coroner, Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi, that she began to relate better with him in 2019.

She testified during a coroner’s inquest into the death of his son.

NewsWireNGR reports that Mohbad’s death has been generating controversies, prompting the Lagos State Government to direct a coroner’s inquest into the death.

The inquest, which began on Oct. 13, is taking place at the Ikorodu Magistrates’ Court in Lagos State.

Abosede that she and Joseph went to the residence of singer Azeez Fashola (a.k.a Naira Marley) to ask him why he had been been having a dispute with Mohbad.

“I asked Mohbad to call Pasuma to report Naira Marley because of the consistent beating, and Pasuma said he would intervene.

“Mohbad kept on cautioning me not to talk.

“I only got to know about the injury four days after, and the only person he had issues with is Naira Marley.

“The only complain from the wife about him was infidelity,” she said.
