The family has requested a private and quiet mourning period for their son without any elaborate events that could intensify their emotions.

“Recently, the Aloba family has become aware of certain organizations’ intentions to commemorate the first anniversary of the passing of their late son and renowned singer, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, also known as Mohbad. In response, the Aloba family earnestly appeals to these parties to refrain from pursuing such plans at this time.

“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. the statement read.

The family is deeply worried that certain individuals and organizations may intend to exploit Mohbad’s memory for commercial gain. They are urging any groups or individuals to seek the family’s consent before using Mohbad’s name or likeness for any commercial purposes.

Former Marlian Music record label signee Mohbad passed away on September 12 at the age of 27. His death stirred controversy on social media due to the circumstances surrounding it.

Following his death, there were subsequent arrests made, including that of Naira Marley and the controversial Lagos socialite, Balogun Eletu, also known as Sam Larry, along with several others.

On September 21, 2023, his remains were dug up for the purpose of conducting an autopsy to determine the exact cause of his death.
