Joseph Ayoba, the father of the late singer Mohbad, is seeking justice for his son’s tragic demise.
During an interview with BBC News Yoruba, Joseph Aloba discussed Mohbad’s connections with his former boss Naira Marley and associate Sam Larry.
The pastor revealed that he once visited visited Naira Marley and saw Mohbad sharing a meal with the Marlian boss, leading him to believe that the rapper has genuine affection for his son.
Despite his son’s allegations of wickedness against Naira Marley and his crew, Joseph Ayoba said he refused to believe them.
Aloba expressed his regret over the burial of his late son, highlighting challenges such as denial of a police report and lack of space at the mortuary.
He said, “My son died at about 3pm, nobody called me. By the time I got to his house, it was 10pm and I saw a lot of crowd.
“We were denied a police report at the station, We tried to take him to the mortuary but there was no space, I couldn’t be watching him in the house. I had to bury him”
Apologizing to outraged Mohbad’s fans, he said “Nigerians should forgive me if I offended them. Nobody loves him like me.”
Regarding Sam Larry, Ayoba claimed he had never seen him before, only learning of him when he reportedly assaulted Mohbad.
He emphasized his love for Mohbad and the need for justice, revealing several instances of physical abuse his son endured.
As a pastor, Ayoba said he couldn’t handle the matter traditionally due to religious reasons, but he called for justice and was open to a DNA test if necessary.
“I have never seen Samlarry before in my life. The first day I went to Naira Marley’s house, Mohbad was eating and Naira picked a spoon and was eating with him.
“This really touched me that he loved him so much but my son told me Naira was evil. When I went to Naira’s room to beg him to forgive my son whatever he might have done, I didn’t know he was recording me.
“The first time Samlarry ever beat him, he told me not to say anything, he reported at the police station but nothing was done.
“Since then he had always been living with fear. He was beaten again during his video shoot with Zlatan. I need justice for him”.
“As a Pastor, I can’t fight this traditionally because of my religion. If they want to do the DNA test, let them do it” he concluded.
