Nearly three years after the d£+ath of Nigerian singer Mohbad (born Ilerioluwa Aloba), public ang£r and fru$tration have resurfaced over the cont!nued d£lay in his bur!al.
Mohbad d!+ed on September 12, 2023, under circum$tances that sparked national outrage and widespread all£gations of f0ul play. He was bur!ed the following day in Ikorodu, Lagos, but his b0dy was £xhum£d sh0rtly after for aut0psy and further invest!gations am!d m0unt!ng public pr£ssure and the viral #Justice4MohBad movement.
Bur!al H!nged on DNA D!spute
Since the exhum,ation, Mohbad’s remains have reportedly sta¥ed in the mor+tuary.
His father, Joseph Aloba, has cons!stently maintained that the s!nger will not be rebur!ed until a DNA test is completed to conf!rm the pat£rnity of Mohbad’s son, Liam.
In court appearances as recently as December 2025, Joseph Aloba reit£rated that bur!al plans would proceed imm£diately after the DNA results are final!zed, with the int£nded re$ting place set for Ikere Ekiti, the family’s hometown.
However, as of February 25, 2026, there has been no confirmed public update on the status of the DNA process or a final bur!al timeline.
Primeboy’s Emot!onal 0utbur$t Goes Viral
Fresh controversy £rupt£d this week after videos surfaced online showing Mohbad’s close associate, Primeboy, expressing angu!sh over the prolonged d£lay.
In clips widely circulated on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and X, Primeboy lam£nted:
“Mohbad has not been bur!ed after 3 y£ars, his family, brother and sisters are enjoying with the money people d0nated.
I suff£red for this, Mohbad family do the right thing, Nigerian government do the right thing.”
He accu$ed members of the late singer’s family of m!sus!ng public d0nat!ons originally ra!sed to support just!ce eff0rts and bur!al arrangements. Primeboy also called on the Nigerian government to int£rvene and ensure acc0untability.
His comments have reign!ted online debates, with supporters div!ded between demanding transparency from the family and urging auth0rities to exp£dite l£gal and for£nsic processes.
#Justice4MohBad Still Trending
The renewed back|ash refl£cts broader fru$trations surrounding the unreso|ved investigation into Mohbad’s d£+ath. Since 2023, protests, candlelight v!gils, and viral campaigns have kept the hashtag #Justice4MohBad al!ve in Nigerian digital spaces.
Despite in!tial assurances from law enforcement and early det£ntions linked to the pr0be, the case has yet to reach a definitive l£gal conclusion. Earlier reports h!nted at plans for a memorial and dign!fied rebur!al once invest!gations concluded, but those plans appear sta[[ed.
A Case Bl£nding Grief, Law and Public Activism
Mohbad’s d£+ath has evo|ved into one of Nigeria’s most emot!onally charged entertainment controversies in recent years — comb!ning family disputes, l£gal batt|es, public fundra!sing concerns, and susta!ned online activism.
As supporters continue to demand clarity from the family, police, and government authorities, one central question remains unanswered:
When will Mohbad finally be la!d to r£st?
Until official updates emerge on the DNA proceedings and investigative outcomes, the late singer’s legacy — and the calls for just!ce — remain unreso|ved.
Moral lesson; may God bless us with long and a good home 🙏☹
