NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the Baale of Gberigbe community in Ikorodu, Lagos State, Oba Kabiru Shotobi has revealed that he was the one that prevented James Aloba, the father of late singer, Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba, aka Mohbad from burying his corpse at midnight.
This Nigeria News platform recalls that Mohbad died in a controversial manner on September 12, 2023, and was buried the following day in Ikorodu.
The sudden burial sparked outrage both online and offline, with many berating his family for burying the singer before an autopsy could be carried out.
