‘Police Released My Son’s Body To His Father, But He Has Refused To Rebury Him’ – Singer, Mohbad’s Mom Cries Out For Help
Abosede Aloba, the bereaved mother of late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba popularly known as Mohbad has said that the Lagos state police command has released the remains of her son to his father but that her estranged husband has refused to allow them to rebury him.
In a video making the rounds on social media, Ms Abosede said she visited the Lagos state Commissioner of Police last week and was told that the body has since been released to his father.
Speaking in her local dialect, she disclosed that immediately after the police ran the autopsy on the singer, they released the corpse for burial but the father refused to bury him.
She added that when she went to see the Commissioner of Police to complain, he rained insults on her, saying that the family of the singer was happy about his demise, hence their refusal to bury him.
She called on President Bola Tinubu and well meaning Nigerians to come to her aid as all she wanted was to bury her late son so he could be at rest.
In her words:
“Nigerians, please help me over the corpse of my son, Mohbad. They have released Mohbad for a long time. Since they finished the autopsy, they released his body but his father has refused us to rebury him. He just kept the boy’s body there.
I have begged him endlessly but since he has refused to listen to my plea, I decided to go to the Commissioner of Police last week and they told me they have released Mohbad’s body since. They even asked me why we were using his corpse to play and that are we happy that he is dead.”

She said she has been hearing all that Mohbad’s dad has been saying about her but has decided to leave everything to God.
“I begged him Severally but he refused then I thought of what to do. I went to the commissioner of police last week to complain, the commissioner even insulted me that ‘are we happy that our son is dead? Why have we not buried him? why are we allowing his corpse to be lying there useless and making the dead suffer? but I just let go of what Mohbad’s dad is doing and saying because I do not want drama.
God is my vindicator, I am calling on all true mothers and Nigerians at large to please come to my aid so we can bury my son, my son is restless, he is running about. Even me. I do not have rest of mind, this is the help I want from you all.
It’s not as if I cannot reply Mohbad dad in all he has been saying, but I hand over everything to God, He will judge us both, I have a lot to say but I won’t say anything.
Why will my child die and I will be granting interviews and allowing people make money off my dead son? A son that loves us, that takes care of us, that fears us. A child that I carried from God’s back, I am begging Nigerians not to ignore my son’s corpse.
He is not a dead goat nor a dead dog, he is a Human being. Please all the youths and Mohbad friends should also support me and let’s bury him. Do not let anyone start using his death to cash out, see how my son is being treated, he was beaten to death, now see how they are treating his body.
Baba Tinubu please come to my aid and help me bury my son so he can have peace and rest. I want you all to help me bury my son. I am not begging for money; I just want my son to rest. I leave the rest to God; he rewards everyone accordingly, and God will avenge his death.
They are using my son’s death to make money online, so they pray to experience such misfortune too? I told everyone trying to interview me that I was not interested because there was nothing to be happy about my son’s death; they took him from me, and he needs to find rest now and be reburied.”
