Mohbad’s father curses anyone who monetizes late son’s remembrance
Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, condemns those exploiting the late singer’s memory for profit on his first death anniversary. He urges a focus on justice and remembrance, not commercialization, expressing deep grief over his son’s untimely death.
Mr. Joseph Aloba, father of the late Nigerian singer Mohbad, has vehemently condemned those exploiting his son’s memory for financial gain as the one-year anniversary of the artist's tragic passing approaches. Speaking to reporters on September 11, 2024, after a court hearing regarding the unresolved circumstances of Mohbad’s death, Aloba expressed deep frustration and sorrow, denouncing individuals who seek to profit from the commemoration of his son’s untimely demise.
In an emotional video, Aloba shared the pain of hearing his son’s music, revealing that he still sheds tears whenever Mohbad’s voice fills the air. He criticized the commercialization surrounding the anniversary, stressing that the period should be about justice and remembrance, not opportunistic gains. Aloba’s outrage was palpable as he warned that those attempting to monetize this tragic occasion would face dire consequences, invoking suffering upon them and their families.
Reflecting on the exploitation, Aloba lamented, “Some people want to use the death of a 26-year-old to make money. When I pass and his song is playing, I shed tears. If someone has decided that his death anniversary is an opportunity to profit, they and their family will suffer from leprosy. This is the time to remember that it has been one year, and we still haven’t gotten justice.” His words serve as a powerful reminder of the ongoing fight for truth and the emotional toll borne by those closest to Mohbad.
