The coroner's inquest of the late Nigerian singer Oladimeji Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad, saw some drama between his father, Joseph Aloba and his mother, Abosede. The inquest which began on September 29, 2023, seeks to unravel the cause of death of the singer.

Mohbad passed away under mysterious circumstances on September 12, 2023. He was buried the following day.

On September 21, his body was exhumed for an autopsy at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), which revealed no significant findings that could be attributed to his death.

The toxicology report did detect the presence of Diphenhydramine, an antihistamine, but not in a concentration considered fatal.

Mohbad’s family had rejected the results and demanded an independent investigation.

According to Monisola Odumosu, a member of the Aloba legal team, a two-part autopsy is currently underway, with the first phase completed and the second part involving toxicology and histology tests.

A video from the coroner’s inquest showed the moment Baba Mohbad totally ignored Mama Mohbad despite her gesture of peace towards him. The viral clip showed Mama Mohbad getting on her knees to greet her late son’s father, but he ignored her despite the onlooker present who tried to make peace between them.

In the video, Baba Mohbad looked away after noticing that Mama Mohbad was trying to soften him with her show of respect.

Recall that following Mohbad’s death on September 12, 2023, his father, Joseph Aloba, had been very vocal about finding justice for his late son. His estranged wife, Abosede, also sought justice while showing support for Mohbad’s widow, Wunmi.

However, things recently went sour between Mama Mohbad and Wunmi where she accused the widow of betraying her.

The video of the drama between Baba Mohbad and the late singer’s mother in court quickly spread on social media and drew a series of hot takes from netizens. Read what some of them had to say about their exchange below:

The Public's Reaction

The video of Baba Mohbad's cold response to Mama Mohbad's gesture of respect has sparked heated debate on social media. Many netizens have expressed their views on the situation, with some condemning Baba Mohbad's actions and others defending him.

One user, Audu_great01, wrote: “This is very sad, I hope they can resolve their issues peacefully.” Another user, obakese1, commented: “What a shame! Why is he doing this? This is not the time for these things. This shows that Mohbad was a victim of a lot of inner turmoil and pain.” Don_nicko said, “I think Baba Mohbad is angry and in pain. He needs time to process everything.”

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Nigerian actress Iyabo Ojo waded into the drama between Mama Mohbad and the late singer’s widow, Wunmi.

Just recently, social media was buzzing with excitement over the audio of Mama Mohbad cursing out Wunmi and calling her a betrayer, among other things.

Shortly after the drama went viral online, Iyabo Ojo spoke on a TikTok platform to explain what she knew of the situation.

The inquest has continued with the family present. The presence of the late singer's family has stirred emotions and questions about the relationship between them and the future of the investigation. The public eagerly awaits the next step in the inquest, hoping for answers to the many questions surrounding Mohbad's untimely demise.

What Lies Ahead?

The inquest into Mohbad's death has been highly anticipated by fans and the public. As the investigation continues, attention will remain focused on the key witnesses, Naira Marley and Sam Larry. The absence of the two at the inquest has raised further suspicions. The police in Lagos have also named Feyisola Ogedengbe, the auxiliary nurse who injected Mohbad, as “the prime suspect” in the singer’s death.

The coroner magistrate has directed the three suspects to appear before the court at the next adjourned date. There is also the looming question of whether the toxicology report will be conclusive in determining the cause of death. The family's demand for an independent investigation, coupled with the recent drama between his parents, adds another layer of complexity to the investigation. The public hopes for justice and answers to the lingering questions surrounding the tragic death of the popular Nigerian singer.
