How I stopped Mohbad’s father from burying him at midnight – Baale

Oba Kabiru Shotobi, the Baale of Gberigbe community in Ikorodu, Lagos State, has revealed that he was the one who stopped James Aloba, the father of late singer, Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba, aka Mohbad, from burying his body at midnight.

Remember that Mohbad died controversially on September 12, 2023, and was buried the next day in Ikorodu.

The singer’s sudden burial sparked outrage both online and offline, with many criticising his family for burying him before an autopsy could be performed.

However, speaking in a video trending on the internet, the Baale of Gberigbe, Oba Shotobi said Mohbad could have been buried earlier if not for his intervention.

He said the deceased’s father wanted to bury him at midnight but he kicked against it.

Speaking in Yoruba, Oba Shotobi said, “Mohbad’s father wanted to bury Mohbad in the midnight of the same day he died. I was the one that stopped him.”
