Joseph Aloba, the father of Mohbad, has explained why he quickly buried his son who passed away at the age of 27 on September 12, with the burial taking place the following day.

In a recent interview shared by Temilola Sobola (@TemilolaSobola) via Instagram on Tuesday, Aloba said that in Yoruba culture, it is “customary not to keep a deceased person’s body for long if both parents are alive”.

He said if Mohbad had passed away at an older age, he might have considered putting him in a mortuary.

He also said the land where the singer was laid to rest was his sole property, adding that he had given it to him to build a church.

“In Yoruba land, his corpse is not the kind to be kept when both of his parents are still alive,” he said.

“Assuming he died at an older age, we might have considered putting his body in the mortuary and taking it at a later date. That same night we took him away from there and buried him where we did.

“That land where Mohbad was buried is his only land, that is the only land I know him to have owned.

“Truly he gave me the land to build my church because we had both agreed to build the church there and since that’s the only land I knew him to have.”

On September 14, Aloba revealed that Mohbad had passed away after receiving an injection administered by an auxiliary nurse.

He also urged the public not to blame Naira Marley, Mohbad’s former label boss, for his son’s death.

Mohbad, a former record label signee of Marlian Music owned by Naira Marley, left the label in February 2022.

The management of Mohbad, on Monday, announced a candlelight procession and tribute night for the late artiste Thursday (tomorrow) while the Lagos State Governor, on Wednesday, invited the Department of Security Services to join the probe of late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.

Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos, has involved the Department of State Services (DSS) in the ongoing investigation into Mohbad’s death.

The police earlier mentioned the possibility of exhuming Mohbad’s corpse.

Bella Shmurda, a close friend of late singer Mohbad, has vowed to seek justice over the death of the former Marlian signee.

In statement posted on his X account, Shmurda, a musician, declared that there would be no rest for those who made Mohbad live in fear while alive.

He also called on the police to arrest Marlian Record CEO, Naira Marley, and another of his associates, Sam Larry.

Shmurda wrote: “In the past few days have tried my best not to carry phone nd type anything.
