Joseph Aloba, the father of the late singer Mohbad, has revealed that there was evidence of bullying against his son when he was alive.
Speaking in an interview on Arise TV, Joseph Aloba stated that while his son was alive, he confided in him about the bullying and abuse he was subjected to from his previous record label, but he did not pay heed to him.
Joseph Aloba stated that one day he asked Mohbad to come to Ikorodu so they could meet with some elders of the town and summon the individuals who were bullying him so that they could speak to them to halt the abuse.
He said: "Mohbad used to complain to me about the bullying he was going through so one day I called him to come to Ikorodu, we have some people that we call Sheikh, so I told him that he should come so that we will go and see them so they call the other parties also to come so we solve the issue."
Recall that in October 2023, Joseph Aloba recounted some of the things his son told him about Naira Marley while he was alive. According to him, he didn’t believe what he was told by his son because he saw Naira Marley eating from the same plate as Mohbad when he visited their home.
He also accused Naira Marley of recording their discussion without his consent.
He said, “The first time NDLEA went to search their home and gave him water, it led to trouble. We settled the issue, so I went to their house to see his boss. What surprised me was my son was eating, and Naira Marley went to meet him, collected his spoon, and ate from his food in my presence. I was touched to the extent that I scolded my son for not doing the right thing to his boss, despite his love for him. But he told me that these people did not love me and that he knew them better than I did.
“I went to prostrate and beg Naira Marley as an elderly person, who wants the best for his son, who is already doing well in his music career. I asked him not to be angry about a video my son posted where he said Naira Marley should be held responsible if anything happened to him. But my son told me that he was living there and that Naira Marley is evil, but I didn’t believe him. When I went to beg, I never knew they had put on a camera to record me.”
