Joseph Aloba: Why I wear my son Mohbad’s clothes

Joseph Aloba, the father of the late singer Mohbad, has replied to his critics inquiring why he wears his son’s clothes. 

Mohbad, 27, died on September 12, 2023, and was buried the following day.

On September 21, Mohbad’s body was exhumed by the police. An autopsy was carried out that same day after which the police announced that they were awaiting the results.

In a recent chat with blogger Kachiwire, Aloba described his late son as a “friend with whom he shared things in common”.

Aloba said he wears his son’s clothes because “we are the same size”.

“He is my son. I can wear his clothes. We are the same size. And anybody that has that kind of a son and cannot share with, that means that person does not love his son. So we are together,” he said.

“I could remember the day they wanted to go and do an introduction that led to his engagement. He bought me a shoes and he said ‘Daddy this is what you are going to wear’ I said these shoes were bigger than mine and that I did not want this kind of bourgeois, he said ‘this is exactly what I want you to do’.

“So, he wanted to blend me. He is my son and a friend to me. So my focus now is justice for Mohbad. So all those rubbish questions, I do not want to answer questions like that. He is my son. So whoever that wants to say anything they like.”

Recently, Omowunmi, Mohbad’s widow, alleged that her father-in-law wants Mohbad’s properties and sees Liam, his grandson as a “threat and competitor”.

She claimed Aloba is “delaying” the conduct of a DNA test on Liam.
