What Mohbad told me about Naira Marley before death – Father

On Wednesday, Joseph Aloba, the father of late musician Ilerioluwa Aloba, commonly known as Mohbad, told a coroner’s court that his son had been living with his former boss Naira Marley since December 2019.

Joseph testified before the Ikorodu Magistrate’s Court in Lagos State during a coroner’s inquest into his son’s death.

The man informed Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi, the coroner, that he and his son had been living together for 18 years.

He claimed he had no idea where his late son lived with Naira Marley.

He testified that his son left his house at the age of consent and began to assist Naira Marley while embarking on his own career in music.

Joseph said that he saw the deceased three days before his death and he only saw Mohbad’s casket in a picture.

According to him, his son assured him that he would be able to handle his dispute with Marley.

Joseph testified that the deceased’s landed property was in the custody of his mother-in-law, adding that the deceased often told him about his possessions held by his wife and her family.

He claimed that Mohbad’s wife put sleeping pills into his food when they lived with the Marlian boss.

Mohbad died under controversial circumstances on September 12 at the age of 27.

Sam Larry and Naira Marley have been at the centre of public outrage over the singer’s death.
