Mohbad Father’s Lawyers Solicit Coroner To Summon Primeboy, Two Others
The Ikorodu-born Afrobeats singer passed away on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27.
Lawyers for Mr. Joshua Aloba, the father of the late singer Lerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad, have written to the Coroner to request that Ayobami Fisayo, also known as Spending, Boluwatife Adeyemo, also known as Darosha, and Ibrahim Owodunni, also known as Prime Boy, be called in to testify and provide firsthand recollections of the events leading up to the singer’s death.
By a letter dated Jan. 15th, 2024 and signed by one of the lawyers, Emmanuel Oroko, the application for issuance of summons on the three proposed witnesses says the testimonies of all three persons would provide more factual evidence and shed better light on the unnatural and suspicious circumstances of Sept. 12, 2023, upon which a coroner inquest has been set up.
A part of the letter to the Coroner reads, “Our research for instance has shown that there were incidents on the 3rd Mainland Bridge at about 2.30 am (Sunday, September 10, 2023, that the appropriate witnesses did not mention and which no one has related at the Coroner Inquest and in our opinion would have given away the circumstantial event that led to the death of Ilerioluwa Aloba.”
“In furtherance to the above, we believe that there were also events on 12 September 2023 at the deceased residential premises, which were not mentioned by the appropriate witnesses, and such information would have given a better insight into the real cause of the death of the deceased, as recent events have shown that some probable witnesses have been suborned”.
