Prominent Nollywood actors Femi Adebayo and Toyin Abraham have responded to the passing of the Nigerian singer known professionally as Mohbad, whose real name was Ilerioluwa Aloba.

Both of these celebrated actors shared their reactions to Mohbad's unfortunate demise in individual social media posts. Mohbad had passed away the previous Tuesday and was laid to rest in Ikorodu, Lagos, on Wednesday, amidst lingering controversies surrounding the circumstances of his death.

Taking to her Instagram page to pay her last respects to the singer, Toyin Abraham on Sunday wrote, “I was in denial, I couldn’t use the ‘was’ for you Imole. I really want to wake up from the dream. I can’t forget the memories on my movie set ‘Ghost and the Tout’ and how you showed a level of humility that is lacking in some of your peers.

“Just as your name, Your light shone so brightly I can’t really believe it’s gone. Your death has opened a lot of shocking, complex, and unbelievable underlying stories that sound so hard to let go.

“Though we can’t have you back but total justice for you may start the healing process. The necessary government parastatals need to do their job.”

“In memory of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba Mohbad, a star whose musical brilliance graced the world. Though your life was tragically cut short, your music remains a testament to your resilience and artistry. “Imole,” meaning “Light” in Yoruba, was your name, and you lived up to it by illuminating the lives of many.

“Rest in power, Imole.”
