MOHBAD’S FAMILY OPPOSES ANNIVERSARY EVENT FOR LATE SINGER
The family of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, widely known as Mohbad, has expressed that they do not support plans to celebrate the late singer’s anniversary with grand festivities.
This was stated in a statement signed by Monisola Odumosu, a member of the family’s legal team.
The family said they would rather mourn Mohbad in peace, as it does not seek to reopen old wounds.
The reason for the statement, according to the family, was because some individuals and organisations might be planning to use Mohbad’s memory for commercial purposes.
It reads, “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.
“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,” it added
