Ilerioluwa Aloba, professionally known as Mohbad, met his wife, Wunmi, at Naira Marley’s Marlian Music label, according to Joseph Aloba, Mohbad’s father.
Given the circumstances surrounding his demise, Mohbad’s death has sparked controversy for more than two weeks.
While defining Mohbad as a simple and modest person, he stated that the duo had known each other at a very young age in Oke-Iletu, Ikorodu, Lagos, before reconnecting at Naira Marley’s label. However, there was no string connecting them before they reconnected.
Clarifying this through the song “Komajensun” which Mohbad sang in 2020, Aloba spoke of a lyric, “Naira lo gbe omo fun mi, I’m not a womaniser”, in the song referencing how Mohbad reconnected with Wunmi at Marlian record.
“He (Mohbad) met the lady (Wunmi) there (at Marlian Music) but they had known each other from Oke-Iletu, even though the lady was a student then,” Aloba disclosed to this reporter.
The Lagos State Police Command has commenced an investigation to unravel the circumstances leading to the artiste’s death.
Meanwhile, the Coroner’s inquest into the death of Mohbad has fixed October 13, 2023, for witnesses to appear before it.
Attorney Funmi Falana, who represented Mohbad’s family, alongside other lawyers, had closed-door proceedings to discuss the modalities for hearing of evidence.
Speaking to the journalist after the proceedings, Falana said, “What we did today was to decide how and when the procedures would help get justice. The date has been fixed and will be bringing our witnesses.”
