2 min read

The family of the late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has appealed to organisations and individuals planning to mark the first anniversary of his death to suspend their plans.

In a statement signed by a member of the family’s legal team, Monisola Odumosu, the family emphasised their preference for a quiet period of mourning rather than reopening old wounds.

“It has come to the attention of the Aloba family that some organisations have been planning to celebrate the first anniversary of the death of our late son and singer, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (Mohbad). The Aloba family wishes to appeal to such interest groups to suspend such ideas.

“The late singer is yet to be buried. As such, the family would wish the public to join them in prayers at his anniversary rather than organise any elaborate event that will affect their emotions,” the statement said.

The statement was issued in response to reports that certain individuals and organisations might be planning to use Mohbad’s memory for commercial purposes during the anniversary.

The family urged the groups to reconsider their plans and seek proper approval before proceeding.

“It is no longer news that some individuals and organisations have been planning to carry out events to commemorate the late singer’s death.

“We will appeal to such persons and organisations to seek proper approval from the family before going on with such plans. The Aloba family would not wish the goodwill of their illustrious son to be employed for commercial purposes,” the statement added.

The family has urged individuals and organisations to respect their wishes and join them in prayers during this difficult time.
