Mohbad’s wife was unfaithful to late singer – Father testifies

Mr Joseph Aloba, the father of late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba (a.k.a Mohbad), on Wednesday told a coroner’s court that the deceased’s wife was unfaithful to him.

He also said that Mohbad had been living with singer Azeez Fashola (a.k.a Naira Marley) since December 2019.

Joseph testified that the deceased’s landed property were 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 Marley.

According to Joseph, his daughter-in-law had been unfaithful to the deceased.

Joseph testified during a coroner’s inquest into the death of his son.

The musician died on September 12 and was buried the following day.

He was aged 27 years.

His death has been generating controversies, prompting Lagos State Government to direct a coroner’s inquest into the death.

The inquest, which began on October 13, is taking place at the Ikorodu Magistrates’ Court in Lagos State.

Joseph told the Coroner, Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi, that he and his son lived together for 18 years.

He said that he did not know the exact house in which his late son was living with Marley.

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

Joseph said that he saw the deceased three days before his death.

He added that he saw the deceased’s casket only in a picture.

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

He also told the coroner that the deceased bought a car for him after reconciling with his mother.

At the beginning of proceedings, the coroner commiserated with Joseph on his son’s death, promising that justice would be served in the case.

A Yaba Magistrate’s Court, Lagos State, on October 4, remanded Marley and a Lagos socialite, Balogun Eletu (a.k.a Sam Larry) in police custody over the death of Mohbad.
