Don’t Commercialise Mohbad’s Memory – Family
The family of late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba ‘Mohbad’ has made a heartfelt appeal to individuals and organizations planning to commemorate the first anniversary of his death.
In a statement by the family’s legal representative, Monisola Odumosu on Monday, they asked that their wishes be respected.
The family expressed desire to grieve their son privately without elaborate events that may exacerbate their emotional pain.
The statement read, “It has come to the attention of the Aloba family that some organisations have been planning to celebrate the first anniversary of the death of our late son and singer, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (Mohbad). The Aloba family wishes to appeal to such interest groups to suspend such ideas.

“The late singer is yet to be buried. As such, the family would wish the public to join them in prayers at his anniversary rather than organise any elaborate event that will affect their emotions.”
The family also voiced concern that some individuals and organizations might be planning to commercialize Mohbad’s memory. They urged these parties to seek the family’s approval before moving forward with any such plans.
“It is no longer news that some individuals and organisations have been planning to carry out events to commemorate the late singer’s death.
“We will appeal to such persons and organisations to seek proper approval from the family before going on with such plans. The Aloba family would not wish the goodwill of their illustrious son to be employed for commercial purposes.”
