The family of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, commonly known as Mohbad, has asked that organisations and individuals planned to mark the first anniversary of his death postpone their plans.

Monisola Odumosu, a family legal team member, signed the statement.

The family expressed a desire to mourn their son in privacy, without lavish events that could have an emotional impact.

“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.”

“It is no longer news that some individuals and organizations have been planning to carry out events to commemorate the late singer’s d3ath.

“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.
