Oba Kabiru Shotobi, the Baale of Gberigbe community in Ikorodu, Lagos State, has exposed James Aloba, father of late singer, Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba, aka Mohbad for his intention to bury his son’s corpse at midnight.

The Baale revealed that he was the one that prevented Aloba from carrying out the action.

The quick burial sparked outrage both online and offline, with many rebuking his family for burying the singer before an autopsy or investigation could be considered.

Speaking in a video trending on the internet, the Baale of Gberigbe, Oba Shotobi said Mohbad could have been buried earlier if not for his sudden intervention.

He stressed that the deceased’s father intended to bury him at midnight but he refuted it.

Speaking in Yoruba language, Oba Shotobi said, “Mohbad’s father wanted to bury Mohbad in the midnight of the same day he died. I was the one that stopped him.”
