Mohbad’s mother, Yomi Fabiyi clash over cause of singer’s death

Mrs. Abosede Aloba, the mother of late singer Mohbad and actor Yomi Fabiyi engaged in a heated argument at a World Press Conference in Lagos on Wednesday. Fabiyi had accused Mohbad’s brother, Adura Aloba, of sending him a message claiming to know the cause of the singer’s death. However, Mrs. Aloba vehemently denied the claim, stating that Adura wouldn’t have known the cause of Mohbad’s death and should remain silent. The visibly distraught mother said: “They killed Mohbad, and you want me to lose his brother unjustly. He knows nothing about his brother’s death; do not implicate my son. “I am not happy that I lost Mohbad because if he were alive, I wouldn’t be sitting here with you. They took my precious gift away, and I won’t let them take Adura, too”. Fabiyi stood firm, saying he was more concerned about the message than the sender’s identity. He expressed doubts that Adura wasn’t the one who sent the message, sparking a tense confrontation between the two. “The production and delivery of the SSID cards is, not only a dream come true, but also a testament to the avowed commitment of the AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s administration in ensuring adequate planning, economic development and social inclusion in the State. “It is also heartwarming to note that those who have activated the account associated with the registration have started making use of it for different financial transactions”. He further stressed that the level of technology transfer between the Consultant handling the project and those recruited locally cannot be over emphasised.
