Joseph Aloba, father of late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad, says his late son was a friend with whom he shared things in common, which is why he is comfortable wearing his clothes.
Joseph was replying to his critics who wondered why he wore his late son’s clothes. He said he wears his son’s clothes because they are the same size.
“He is my son. I can wear his clothes. We are the same size. And anybody that has that kind of a son and cannot share with, that means that person does not love his son. So, we are together.
“I could remember the day they wanted to go and do an introduction that led to his engagement. He bought me a pair of shoes and he said, ‘Daddy this is what you are going to wear’. I said these shoes were bigger than mine and that I did not want this kind of bourgeois. He said ‘This is exactly what I want you to do’.
“So, he wanted to blend me. He is my son and a friend to me. So, my focus now is justice for Mohbad. So, all those rubbish questions, I do not want to answer questions like that. He is my son. So, whoever wants to say anything they like,” he said.
Recently, Omowunmi, Mohbad’s widow, alleged that her father-in-law wants Mohbad’s properties and sees Liam, his grandson, as a threat and competitor.
She claimed Joseph is delaying the conduct of a DNA test on Liam.
Mohbad died on September 12, 2023, and was buried the following day.
On September 21, Mohbad’s body was exhumed by the police. An autopsy was carried out that same day after which the police announced that they were awaiting the results.
