Mohbad: My Son Was Still Alive When He Was Buried – Late Singer’s Mother
The mother of late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad, Abosede has revealed that her son was still alive when he was interred despite her advise.
She made the revelation in an exclusive interview granted to Punch newspaper that was monitored by Entertainment Digest on Friday.
Mrs Abosede said she was at the late singer’s house, ten days before his death.
“I actually did not know when my child (Mohbad) died. His father did not tell me. I was in his house for 10 days shortly before he died. I ran back there when I heard that he had died. I was the one who called his father and siblings to inform them. I brought them all together.
“I called their father to come and see me with all the children, despite all he had done to me. I did not have the strength to fight with him, because I found happiness in my children, and because they are grown up, I brought them all together. But, their father separated us.
“I believe that my son was not dead as of the time he was buried. I actually told them not to bury him, but they refused. If they had not buried him at the time he did, I believe he would have lived. Joseph is actually my problem.
I believe that he buried my son before he died”.
She also revealed the controversies that have trailed her relationship with her ex-husband and Mohbad’s dad, Joseph.
The late singer’s mother denied the viral rumour that she left her former husband’s house (Mohbad’s father) because she was pregnant for another man.
She instead accused her estranged former husband of threatening to kill her, but left him when message got to her parents about his threatening actions towards her.
She also insisted that she never left her children for ten years, or left them with anyone else as virally spreaded by several social media platforms.
“All that happened about 10 years ago (when I left Joseph, Mohbad’s dad) that they have been using to fight me is what I want to speak about. Since then, they have been fighting with me, saying that I left my children.
“I never left my children for 10 years. I did not drop them with anyone.
” Their father, Joseph, was the one that wanted to kill me. He wanted to stab me to death, yet I still stayed. However, some people sent my parents a message, that they should come and take me away from his house, before he would kill me.
“He (Joseph) is lying that he caught me cheating on him. Many people have been calling me an adulterer, because of the lies he told against me.

When asked what was the genesis of their breakup, Abosede declared that her father never supported her marriage with Mohbad’s father, despite having her first child with him.
She added that her father was against her introduction with him, and insisted that her first child, Ibukun be collected from her by Mohbad’s father, while she returns home.
“What caused the fight was that my father actually asked me not to marry him from the onset. He did not even accept our introduction. He was so adamant about not accepting our marriage.
“But, at that time, I was already pregnant. I had even given birth to my first child, Ibukun. Even after her birth, my dad said that she should be collected from me and brought to him, so that I could come home. When I gave birth to Promise and Mohbad, my father still did not accept. He wanted my mum to collect my first child from me, so that I could come back home, but my mother refused. She did not want me to have children for more than one husband, because if I left Mohbad’s father,
“I would have to remarry. She begged my dad, but he still refused. It was after I gave birth to my third child, Adura, that my father and I spoke after a long time. He came to see me at the hospital. Back then, I used to sneak to the house to see my mum, because my father must not see me. He even sent my mother out of the house, because I chose to love and marry Mohbad’s father”, she said.
She said Mohbad before his death once told her that his father wanted him to abandon her and not take care of her, adding that Joseph, her former husband is engrossed in squabbles with. Wunmi, the late singer’s wife because of the properties and money he left behind.
“Mohbad told me, “Mum, I cannot do what my dad asked me to do for you. But, I don’t want you to be supporting him, because I know the truth. He does not want me to do anything for you”
“The major reason Joseph is having issues with Mohbad’s wife is because of my late son’s money and properties.
“My child never turned his back on me. He loved me, and because of that, there was no need to fight anyone.
“Even though I knew that I stood to benefit the most from his wealth, I always told him to take care of his father as well. I asked him to buy a vehicle for his father. He rented a shop for me, because he said he could not be spending on his father alone, without doing the same for me.
“However, he later told me that his dad did not want him to rent the shop for me, and asked me to keep it (the shop) a secret between me, him and his wife. I agreed, because I saw his father as my enemy, and I wanted to handle the situation tactfully”.
