Nollywood actor Yomi Fabiyi has made startling claims about the events surrounding the death of popular singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, widely known as Mohbad.
Fabiyi alleges that Mohbad’s brother, Adura Aloba, attempted to sell a disturbing video for ₦3 million.
According to Fabiyi, the video purportedly shows a violent altercation between Mohbad and his wife, Wunmi, which allegedly contributed to the singer’s untimely demise.
Alleged video evidence of domestic conflict
Fabiyi shared his claims during a recent press conference in Lagos. He revealed that Adura contacted him on social media to offer the video. “At about 4:23 p.m., Adura Aloba, Mohbad’s younger brother, sent me a direct message (DM). He had been following my comments and reached out to me privately,” Fabiyi said.
Adura reportedly posted a public comment urging Fabiyi to check his private messages.
The actor continued, “Adura offered me a video recording of a fight between Mohbad and his wife, Cynthia. He demanded ₦3 million for it. To convince me, he narrated how the altercation led to Mohbad falling down the stairs, hitting his head, and allegedly breaking his neck.”
Fabiyi claimed the video aligns with rumors about the late singer’s bent neck during his burial. “He even suggested this could explain the injuries noticed in the casket,” Fabiyi added.
Previewing the alleged video
When asked for proof, Adura allegedly shared a brief, partially censored video. Fabiyi stated that the clip, though short, included sounds of a heated argument in the background. He said, “The video was only three seconds long, but the tension and noise were undeniable. It hinted at a deeper, unsettling story.”
Police investigation and impersonation twist
Fabiyi revealed that he took swift action by filing a petition with the Lagos State Police Criminal Investigation Department.
However, the situation took an unexpected turn when he was informed that someone might be impersonating Mohbad’s brother.
“When I visited the police, I learned there was confusion about the identities involved. It was unclear if Adura was truly behind the messages or if someone was posing as him,” Fabiyi said. He also expressed concerns about the lack of coordination in the ongoing investigation into Mohbad’s death.
Controversy surrounding Mohbad’s passing
Mohbad, who passed away in September 2023, left behind a cloud of unanswered questions. The 27-year-old artist had recently parted ways with Naira Marley’s Marlian Music, citing unfulfilled contract terms.
His death sparked public outrage, with many questioning the roles of people in his close circle, including his wife, Wunmi, and his former label boss, Naira Marley.
Adding fuel to the fire, an old video showing music promoter Sam Larry physically assaulting Mohbad went viral. These events painted a picture of a troubled life for the rising star, who faced personal and professional challenges.
Public reactions and speculations
The revelations from Fabiyi have intensified the debate over the circumstances of Mohbad’s death. Fans and social commentators have taken to social media, demanding a thorough investigation. Many believe that justice for Mohbad requires uncovering the full truth about his final days.
Critics, however, have raised questions about Fabiyi’s motives. Some wonder why the actor chose to disclose the information now, while others speculate about the authenticity of the alleged video and the claims surrounding it.
A Call for transparency
As investigations continue, Fabiyi has called for greater transparency. He emphasized the need for a harmonized approach among law enforcement agencies. “This case requires sincerity, coordination, and speed. We owe it to Mohbad and his family to uncover the truth,” he said.
The actor’s claims, though unverified, have added another layer to an already complex and controversial case. With public interest at an all-time high, all eyes remain on the authorities to deliver justice and clarity in the matter of Mohbad’s death.
Conclusion
The tragic story of Mohbad continues to unfold, with fresh allegations and developments adding to the mystery. Yomi Fabiyi’s account raises more questions than answers, leaving the public eager for a resolution. As investigations progress, one thing is clear: the quest for justice in Mohbad’s case is far from over.
