JOSEPH Aloba, the father of the late 27-year-old singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba (Mohbad), has revealed more details about his son’s death while seeking forgiveness from Nigerians.
According to media reports, Mr Aloba, in an interview with BBC Yoruba, revealed what happened on the day Mohbad died.
He pleaded with Nigerians to forgive him for burying his son quickly, adding that no one loves his son like he does.
Mr Aloba further stated that his son, before his death, confided in him that Naira Marley had an evil side, noting that his son had been subjected to physical abuse multiple times, adding that the first time Mohbad was beaten, he reported it to the police, but no action was taken.
In his words: “My son died at about 3 p.m. and nobody called me. 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, and 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 before 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 whatever he might have done, I didn’t know he was recording me.
“The first time Sam Larry ever beat him, he told me not to say anything; he reported at the police station, but nothing was done.
“Since then he had always been living with 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.”
