In a deeply emotional statement, Mr. Joseph Aloba, father of the late Nigerian singer Mohbad, expressed his anger and frustration over the commercialization of his son’s remembrance.
During a court hearing on September 11, 2024, Joseph spoke to reporters, condemning those who seek to profit from the anniversary of his son’s tragic death.
In a video shared with the public, Mr. Aloba voiced his grief, revealing that he still sheds tears whenever he hears Mohbad’s music.
He criticized individuals who aim to make money from the first anniversary of the 26-year-old’s passing, warning that they and their families would face dire consequences for such exploitation.
Mr. Aloba stressed that this time should be dedicated to remembrance and justice for his son, not financial gain.
“If somebody has decided that his death anniversary is an opportunity for them to make money, they and their family will suffer from leprosy,” he declared.
He further emphasized that despite it being a year since Mohbad’s death, justice has yet to be served, urging the focus to remain on the pursuit of justice rather than personal profit.
