Joseph Aloba, the father of the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, who was widely known as Mohbad, has provided insight into the reason behind the swift burial of his son.

Mohbad's passing was reported on September 12, and he was laid to rest the very next day. In a recent interview shared on Instagram by Temilola Sobola (@TemilolaSobola) on Tuesday, Aloba explained that the decision to bury his son promptly was in accordance with Yoruba culture.

He stated that adhering to Yoruba customs meant that when both parents are still alive, it is customary not to delay the burial.

“In Yoruba land, his corpse is not the kind to be kept when both of his parents are still alive.

“That land where Mohbad was buried is his only land, that is the only land I know him to have owned.

“Truly he gave me the land to build my church because we had both agreed to build the church there and since that’s the only land I knew him to have,” Aloba said.

Mohbad, at the age of 27, tragically passed away, and the circumstances surrounding his death have generated differing accounts and speculations on the internet.

In response to the uncertainty surrounding his demise, there have been reports suggesting the possibility of exhuming his body to ascertain the precise cause of his death.
