Obi mourns MohBad, urges police to probe death

 

 

 

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the February 2023 election, has commiserated with the family and teeming fans of the late singer, Promise Ilerioluwa Aloba aka MohBad.

 

The singer died last Tuesday with several speculations bordering on the cause of his death. He was buried the next day at Ikorodu.

 

With the uprising following the controversies surrounding the death of the 27-year-old singer, as well as allegations of a threat to life while he was alive, the authorities have since swung into action to ensure thorough inquiry into the matter.

 

 

The Lagos Police Command on Monday inaugurated a 13-man probe panel to unravel the circumstances that led to the death of singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba.

 

Expressing his condolences to the deceased’s family, Obi via his official X handle bemoaned the grief parents have to endure upon the loss of a child.

 

 

He also implored the government and security agencies to ensure an exhaustive probe in unearthing circumstances surrounding Imole’s demise.

 

 

He tweeted: “On behalf of my family, I condole with the mother and entire family of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, Mohbad, over his painful demise. I know how difficult it is for parents to lose a child, especially one with such a promising future as his.

 

“I urge the government and the security agencies to probe the circumstances that led to his untimely demise and to leave no stone unturned in unraveling the circumstances surrounding his death.

 

“With his demise, the nation has lost a promising talent in our growing music and entertainment industry.

 

“I pray God to grant him eternal rest, and grant his parents, family, and teeming fans the fortitude to bear his irreplaceable loss.”
