Mohbad’s Father Demands Police Interrogate Son’s Brother and Wife Amid Ongoing Death Investigation

Mohbad’s Father Demands Police Interrogate Son’s Brother and Wife Amid Ongoing Death Investigation Jul, 3 2025

New Demands in the Mohbad Tragedy

The tragic death of Nigerian musician Ilerioluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad, still hasn’t left the headlines since September 2023. Just when the story seemed to quiet down, his father Joseph Aloba has called on the police to dig deeper—this time targeting even his own family. Joseph wants investigators to question Mohbad's brother, Adura Aloba, and his widow, Omowunmi Cynthia Adebanjo, about what really happened in the days and hours leading up to the singer’s untimely death.

This new push came after a stormy press conference held in January 2025, brought together by Nollywood actor Yomi Fabiyi. Tension ran high as a video—allegedly sent by Adura—was played. The video reportedly contained information that aroused fresh skepticism surrounding Mohbad’s death. The event turned chaotic when Mohbad’s mother, Abosede, clashed openly with Fabiyi over the direction and nature of the accusations. Abosede stood her ground, saying she knew nothing about the cause of her son’s demise and would have spoken out if she did.

Adding to the intrigue, Joseph Aloba accused Adura of refusing to account for his actions and presence during Mohbad’s final hours. He says communication about key details has either been avoided or actively blocked, and he’s urging law enforcement to step in to break the silence.

Family Rift, DNA Tests, and Political Pressure

The family’s focus has split in several directions. Joseph and his legal team are also insisting on DNA testing for Mohbad’s young son, Liam Aloba, hoping to confirm his paternity as legal tussles swirl around the singer’s estate. This demand for a DNA test came after hints of dispute between the late musician’s father and his widow. The question of who the real father is—awkward as it may sound—has now become a public matter, muddying an already turbulent family situation.

From the start, Mohbad’s death has gripped the public and dominated conversation online and off. In September 2023, Nigerian police set up a 13-member team to tackle the case head-on. That investigation saw Mohbad’s body exhumed for a full autopsy—not something you see often with celebrities in Nigeria. High-profile figures from the music industry weren’t spared: Naira Marley and Sam Larry, both former associates of Mohbad, were arrested for questioning, hinting at a broadening scope of inquiry that reached deep into Lagos’ entertainment scene.

The plot thickened even more when Yomi Fabiyi, the actor and advocate, sent a formal petition to President Bola Tinubu. He claims the investigation into Mohbad’s death is tangled in political interests and hurdles, not just police red tape. Meanwhile, Joseph Aloba’s legal campaign to challenge the Attorney General’s control over the investigation hit a wall—a federal court shot down his attempt, dimming hopes for a private prosecution. Unwilling to drop the fight, Aloba’s team is now working on an appeal, determined to overturn the decision and press for what he insists is justice for his son.

So here we are—more than a year since tragedy struck, and there’s still no clear ending in sight. Accusations bounce between family members, lawyers, celebrities, and politicians. Fans are left asking: who can really solve the *Mohbad* mystery, and will the truth behind his final moments ever come out?

    From the ashes of tragedy rises a saga that feels almost mythic, a tale where grief and ambition dance on the same stage. The father’s demands echo like a bitter chorus, demanding answers while the family’s silence becomes a haunting refrain. In such moments, truth is a fragile lantern flickering against a storm.

    We gotta push back, fam! The police should follow every lead, even if it means poking at their own kin. No one’s above the law, and we shouldn’t let politics mute the cries of justice. Let’s keep it real and keep the pressure on.

    Oh great, another courtroom drama – next thing you know we’ll need popcorn for the next hearing. Sure, let’s interrogate the whole family, because that always solves everything, right? I’m just waiting for the next plot twist.

    It is an unequivocal demonstration of the bourgeois obsession with spectacle over substance; the lamentable spectacle, wherein familial discord is weaponized as a theatrical contrivance to satiate voyeuristic appetites, betrays a profound ethical bankruptcy. The discourse surrounding the investigation is marred by an egocentric propensity to prioritize sensationalist narratives rather than a rigorous pursuit of verifiable fact. Such an environment perpetuates a pernicious cycle wherein the gravitas of human loss is subsumed by the trivialities of public conjecture.

    Respectfully, the focus should be on concrete evidence, not on familial infighting. The police have a duty to follow every credible lead, whether it involves a brother or a widow. Let’s ensure the investigation stays professional and transparent.

    All parties deserve fair treatment, and the investigative process must adhere strictly to legal standards. It is essential that any interrogation be conducted with proper documentation and respect for rights. This ensures that any findings are admissible and beyond reproach.

    Truth is a river that flows beneath the surface of accusation and applause and it is only when we stop chasing shadows that we may glimpse its quiet current. The father’s call for interrogation seems less a pursuit of justice than a desperate cry for control in a storm of uncertainty. A brother’s silence can be a shield or a prison, and a widow’s grief may be weaponized by those hungry for scandal. In the theater of public opinion, every testimony becomes a prop and every silence a stage cue. One must ask whether the law is being used as a scalpel or as a blunt instrument to carve narratives. The law should be a lantern, not a torch that burns away nuance. DNA tests for paternity, while understandable in estate disputes, risk reducing a child's identity to a bureaucratic label. We must guard against allowing the machinery of justice to become an arena for family feuds. The political pressure referenced by Yomi Fabiyi hints at a larger pattern where power structures manipulate investigations for their own ends. When a president is petitioned, it signals that the case has transcended personal tragedy to become a pawn in wider games. Yet, amid these machinations, the real victim remains the memory of a talented artist whose voice has been silenced. The community’s grief is a chorus that deserves more than speculative drama. As we sift through video footage, legal filings, and public statements, let us hold fast to the principle that evidence, not hype, should drive outcomes. If the police were to interrogate every involved party with transparent procedure, perhaps we could approach a glimpse of clarity. Ultimately, the pursuit of truth demands patience, humility, and a willingness to confront uncomfortable facts without drifting into sensationalism.

    The whole investigation is a cover-up orchestrated by elite interests. They want to keep the truth hidden so they can protect their own. Every press conference is a staged performance, a distraction from the real agenda. The DNA test is just a way to control the legacy of the artist. Politicians love to insert themselves to appear concerned while secretly steering outcomes. The police are in their pocket, and the family is being used as pawns. Wake up, people, before the narrative is fully scripted.

    Sure, the father’s plea is just another layer of drama in a saga that seems endless. Maybe the truth is out there, but we’re all just chasing shadows on a wall. If you think it’s all a conspiracy, you might be right, or you could be missing the point.

    What we see here is a collision of grief and the public’s need for answers. It’s natural to seek closure, yet the process can become tangled in emotions and expectations. Let’s try to keep a balanced perspective while supporting those affected.

    People should remember that the investigation’s goal is to uncover facts, not to fuel media frenzy. If the police follow proper protocol, hopefully the truth will emerge without further harm to the family.

    We gotta keep talking about this with an open mind, not just jump to conclusions. It’s important to listen to all sides and keep the conversation respectful. Only then can we hope to see some real progress.
