The mother of the late afrobeats singer, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, aka Mohbad, has cried out over her son’s demise, alleging that he was killed and did not die a natural death.

In a video she made which has gone viral, the traumatized woman revealed that she was alive and not dead as some people thought. Only that she couldn’t come out to speak because she was still mourning her son.

According to Mohbad’s mum, she didn’t believe her son died from an “ear infection” because she was aware of his many troubles prior to and after leaving his record label.

Speaking in her native Yoruba language, the distraught woman full of tears called out Afrobeats musician and label owner, Naira Marley and pleaded for justice for her son’s untimely death, even as she rained curses on whomever had a hand in his death.

She said: “My son didn’t die a natural death; he was killed. Whoever killed my son, that person’s home will become troubled. They will face war and curses. The glory of the child in their home will diminish because of those who killed him.

“I am not dead; I am alive. My son didn’t find rest, and I couldn’t speak up whenever he was falsely accused because I wasn’t given the chance. I asked my son what happened, and he gave me money to go to the hospital. I called him from the hospital, and he told me, ‘Mummy, something is happening.’ I called him to come home and tell me what happened. I am his life and heaven. He said he came home because he heard something had happened. He said he was given water, and then he didn’t know what happened to him anymore. Since then, I’ve been on the matter. Since then, I’ve been on it.

“He died in fear. the fear was too much. If he was supposed to go to some shows, he couldn’t go because of the fear that some people were coming. He was beaten every day, and I was receiving calls even from people I didn’t know. I didn’t rest until he was killed.”
