CrockvibesPRO: DJ Splash Alleges Naira Marley And Associates Of Spiking His Food And Drinks, Resulting In Illness Amid Mohbad's Death Controversy
Matthew Aderoju, popularly known as DJ Splash, has made accusations against popular Nigerian singer and rapper, Azeez Fashola, famously known as Naira Marley,
DJ Splash accused Naira Marley of spiking his food and drinks while with him which is currently trying to ruin his life.
SaharaReporters reported on Sunday that a woman who identified herself as DJ Splash’s mother, in an audio she sent to an online news blog, Gistlover, accused Naira Marley of ruining her son’s life after moving in with him. He noted that her son returned home with a ‘strange ailment’ and was abandoned by Naira Marley.
The woman said the problem started in 2021 after her son, DJ Splash won a competition and was given N100,000 cash.
She explained that after he won the competition, a lot of celebrities liked him and he was taken to many shows.
According to her, he later met Naira Marley and Zlatan and they danced together.
She said Naira Marley opted to take DJ Splash to live and work with him but she initially refused and insisted that her son would go to university first, but that Naira Marley agreed to send the young man to school.
But after some time, her son called her one day, asking her to come and take him away from Naira Marley’s house in the Lekki area of Lagos State where they lived.
Meanwhile, DJ Splash in an interview with actress Iyabo Ojo @iyaboojofespris which was shared on her Instagram page, alleged that Naira Marley constantly spiked his food and drinks, lamenting that something was now with him.
DJ Splash, who spoke incoherently in the interview, managed to tell his interviewer that his life had been ruined.
According to him, his mother sent him money while he was with Naira Marley.
"He doesn't use to give me money to eat, even to put clothes. I am just trying to do something so that it doesn't look I left home... Unfortunately, they started planning things together - maybe they tried to go into religious side - Christian and Muslim. They started planning things all together - Naira and his boys - all of them that dey house, they started planning together.
"...when I told him that I want to go into music apart from DJ, they started planning to make me mad...".
When he was asked how he got to know that, he said he heard "during their discussion but they didn't know that I heard what they said."
He further stated that whenever Naira Marley was involved in something, he would want others to join in and anyone not interested would have a problem with him (Naira Marley).
Continuing he said, "I said okay, if they don't want to support me for music I said I wouldn't continue staying him. As they talk say how they will put something in my food, make him mad, call his mummy and plan things for him, let's tell the mother he is not okay. They now called my mum and told her that I was not okay.
"They tried their best to make me go mad," he said.
When asked if they spiked his food or drink, he said, "They do because this is not how I be. I am one used to studying my body. If not, what they did to me I am not I don't behave like this before."
He added that when he started noticing changes in his body, he stopped eating their food "and I started buying my own food."
SaharaReporters had reported that his mother lamented that since she took her son out of Naira Marley’s house, she had been taking DJ Splash to different hospitals as he had been sick.
She said her son lost memory and had not been mentally sound but did not say if any of the hospitals diagnosed his ailment.
She said DJ Splash had become so sick that she had taken him to different hospitals and sold all she had.
However, she said her son had refused to take drugs prescribed by doctors, insisting that he would only accept drugs from Naira Marley.
Meanwhile, she accused Naira Marley of not answering her calls to date while her son’s health continued to deteriorate.
Speaking in Yoruba language, the woman said, “Hello, Gistlover, I’m the mother of Matthew Aderoju, who is also known as DJ Splash. I want Nigerians to help me. The issue started in 2021.
“He won a competition and was given N100,000 cash and they all liked him because he was good. They took him to many shows and his brother followed him. Naira Marley met him with Zlatan."
She added, “We have a video of them together in which they danced. He said, ‘Wow, this boy is good.’ My son told me he met Naira Marley but I didn’t know who he was. We had a voice call and he pleaded with me to release my son to him. I told him he wanted to go to school and I’m a widow.
“I’m the only one taking care of them. I told him he learnt a vocation and that when he starts making some money, I want him to go to school (university). But he said I should not worry, that he would send him to school. He said he should come and stay with him.
“After he left for his place, I could not reach my son again. When we called him, we would not get him. It took long before I got him and you know in Lekki where they stay, if you don’t call, you will not be allowed to enter. I would ask my son how are things and he would say no problem, but after some time, he started asking me for money. I told him to return home if Marley didn’t keep to his promise.
“One day, my son called and asked me to come get him. He said something was wrong with him. That day, Naira Marley’s younger brother was having the naming ceremony of his baby. My son kept saying something was wrong with him but didn’t know what it was. He said we should not trust anybody, including Naira Marley.
“When we got to Lekki in the night, we met him outside and brought DJ Splash home. Since then, the problems have been massive. We took him to different hospitals. Later, he said if he didn’t see Naira Marley, he would not take drugs. I started calling Subomi, but they didn’t pick up.
“When my son noticed I was taking their numbers from his phone, he removed the SIM card and destroyed it with a stone. He broke it. He broke the phone. Later, they told me at the hospital that he lost his memory. He could not recognise me or his siblings.
“I sold my things. What they would beg to buy from me for N110,000 now, I sold for N55,000 to get money to treat my son. After some time, he started remembering things. He wanted to jump inside a well in the house.
“I could not go out for business; I was taking him everywhere. I had incurred debts at my shop. Only Wizkid or someone with a name like that gave me money; some days N15,000, some days N10,000 when I called to say ‘no money again’. He is only the person who has helped. My son would order Uber and return with the debt. Uber would say the fare is N20,000. Those ones would not know he was not well.
“I would start borrowing money from people in the neighbourhood. After some time, we had to use a chain to restrict his movement. And he was not taking the drugs prescribed for him. Later he said only Naira Marley could give him drugs. And that he was the only one who could talk to him and he would listen. I would call his mother and she would say Naira Marley is not at home.
“We are still on the issue. He doesn’t eat our food; he cooks his own food. If I prepare meat or fish, he will not eat it. He is still at home. Sometimes, he talks to himself. We are planning to take him to another place. Nigerians should help me. Who will help me?
“I bought DJ equipment for him that he took along with him to Naira Marley’s house and later he said Naira Marley also bought equipment for him.
“When the ailment started, he brought all the equipment home one day. One day, he came, ordered an Uber and took away all the equipment again. We don’t know where the equipment is now. Sometimes he would run away. Before we make any plan, he would know. He would say, ‘Mummy, I know you are planning to take me to another place’.
“The laptop I bought for him’ I don’t know where it is.”
Background
This comes a few days after the death of singer, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
Following his death, there have been allegations that Mohbad was assaulted by Naira Marley and his crew.
On October 6, 2022, Mohbad made a series of posts which read, “The events of the last two days have left indelible scars in my heart. I have always just wanted to create good music and to provide for my family and myself through my music. As an Artiste from the street, I thought the Marlian Family would be a good place for me.
“However, recent events and certain truths have come to light which threaten my peace, health and career. Because of these issues, I informed Naira Marley on the Marlian WhatsApp group chat of my intention to change my manager.
“This didn’t go down well with my current Manager Tunde (His Brother) There were instant angry outbursts and protests from him in the chat. I went to Naira Marley’s house with my Producer and my friend on the 4th of October, 2022, to have this conversation and reach a peaceful-resolution.
“We were in the studio, and some of the guys who work with Naira- Sid, Shuddy, Seyi and others- were present, as well as Naira and Tunde. I noticed Tunde was quite agitated as we started the discussion. In the middle of the conversation, Tunde became violent and-attacked me.
“The guys I was with were also attacked, humiliated and stripped naked by Sid, Shuddy and Seyi and some of the other boys. We were barely able to escape. 3 of us had to be checked into the hospital to get medical care for the injuries sustained during the assault.
“Naira Marley was fully present throughout this event, and in fact, coordinated some of the attacks as he instructed the boys to beat us up. Some of this was captured on video.
“It is therefore disrespectful for Naira Marley to insinuate that I started the attack because I was intoxicated as he is fully aware of the facts and circumstances surrounding this violent attack. It is not the first time Naira has lied to push his own narrative, but it will hopefully be the last.
SaharaReporters had reported how Mohbad wrote a petition to the Nigeria Police Force reporting multiple threats to his life from controversial socialite, Samson Balogun, aka Sam Larry, amongst others.
Mohbad, on June 27, 2023, filed the petition captioned “Petition of threat to life, malicious damage of properties valued the sum of five-million-naira, assault occasioning harm, oppression and conduct likely to cause breach of peace” against Sam Larry and Oba Elegushi of Eti-Osa, Lagos State.
However, the police failed to act on the petition.
Thonyboy: The Baale of Gberigbe community in Ikorodu, Lagos State, Oba Kabiru Shotobi has revealed that he was the one that prevented James Aloba, the father of late singer, Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba, aka Mohbad from burying his corpse at midnight.
.ng recalls that Mohbad died in a controversial manner on September 12, 2023, and was buried the following day in Ikorodu.
The sudden burial sparked outrage both online and offline, with many berating his family for burying the singer before an autopsy could be carried out.
However, 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 intervention.
He said the deceased’s father wanted to bury him at midnight but he kicked against it, .ng reports.
Speaking in Yoruba, 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.”
The Story of the Epic Battle Between King Sunny Ade and Chief Bolarinwa Abioro
It was in 1974 that the news broke. Chief Bolarinwa Abioro, the Balogun of Ipokia, the Chairman of African Songs Limited, had taken his star musician to court! Everyone who knew KSA knew Abioro. Everyone who knew Abioro knew Sunday Adeniyi. Sunny was the son. Abioro was the father. What could have gone wrong between father and son?
KSA was the second artiste to be signed on to the stable of African Songs Limited. Ayinde Bakare was the first. Sikiru Ayinde Barrister was the third. Like most creative people, young Sunny Ade was more concern about his passion and less concern about the business aspect of music. His passion was to play music and to excel as a musician.
It was enough that Abioro – one of the biggest men in the music industry at the time – was ready to promote him. They brought documents for Sunny and his band boys to sign. They called it a contract. It could have been called any other name for all that KSA cared. Won ni ko wa je saara, o ni ojo ti wonu ju. Se ata ni won ni ko mu wa ni, abi iyo. You are invited to a free feast, you are complaining about the short notice, are they asking you to bring salt or pepper? Sunny Ade and his boys didn’t hesitate. It is doubtful if any of them read what the contract said. The most important thing was that they were going to become recording artistes. Sunny signed. His band boys signed. Everybody was happy.
The contract was for 5 years. However before its expiration, KSA had become a household name. His album, Challenge Cup, sold in excess of 500,000 copies. It was certain that King Sunny Ade was going to dominate the music scene for a very long time to come. African Songs Ltd knew a good product when it saw one. The management of the company didn’t wait for the first contract to expire before they brought a new contract.
The new agreement was carefully worded. KSA and his band boys agreed to perform and record exclusively for ASL for a period of five years. ASL had full copyrights to all compositions and recordings of Sunny Ade. ASL was entitled to the sole right of production, reproduction, and use of King Sunny Ade’s performance throughout the world. That was not all. During the period of the agreement, KSA was prohibited from rendering any performance whatsoever to himself, any company or group of persons. The contract also stipulated that ASL had the option to renew the agreement at its expiration for a further term of two years or for any longer period. Sunny Ade had no such right. That was not all. On the sale of every album which price was then fixed at N6.00, KSA and his boys were entitled to a princely sum of 20 kobo. Yes, you read that right. African Songs would go home with the remaining N5. 80 kobo. Onigegewura’s mathematics has never been good. He is just an amateur historian. You can do the sum yourself.
Still basking in the euphoria of his growing fame, Sunny gratefully signed again. His band boys signed. 20 kobo was still something. Orogun iya re da sokoto fun o, o ni ko bale, melo ni iya to bi o da fun o? You are complaining that the trousers made for you by your step-mother was not long enough, where is the one your own mother made for you? They were expecting their 20 kobo royalty on every album. Well, when the time came for actual payment, it was then discovered that mathematically and arithmetically, it was not supposed to be 20 kobo. They had not factored the cost of publicity and promotion! And since it was the artiste that was being promoted, he must be the one to bear the cost! After the addition and subtraction, Sunny was given 15 kobo per album.
KSA was not Chike Obi, the mathematician. But he knew that 20 kobo and 15 kobo were not the same thing. Compared with his contemporaries in the music industry, KSA realized that he was holding the short end of the stick. His colleague, Baba Commander, Chief Ebenezer Obey was earning as high as 70 kobo per album. Others were earning between 35 kobo and 60 kobo.
That was when Sunny decided to ask Chief Abioro for a raise of the royalty payment. The chairman listened patiently to KSA and his colleagues. He was nodding as they canvassed one reason after another why a raise was in order. When they finished, Chief Abioro flipped open a file he had on his table. He brought out a bundle of documents. Even from where he was seated across the table, Sunny saw that it was a copy of the contract he signed. “An agreement is an agreement. It is a binding contract!” The chief informed them. “This is what you signed. This is what you are entitled to! No more, No less.” He returned the documents to the file. Case dismissed.
But Sunny was not done. “Chief, this is not about contract. You are our father. Our request is for adequate compensation! Let’s leave the contract aside.” Chief Abioro looked at the young star the way a parent looks at a child asking for another candy. “Leave the contract aside? We should leave the contract aside?” The chairman asked incredulously. “You know, it would be nice to leave the contract aside. But you know what? That would be illegal!” Haba! Illegality ke! . It was then that someone brought up the idea of requesting some of his friends to plead their case. Sunny agreed. After all, Eni ti o mo oju Ogun, ni pa obi ni ‘re. It is the person who is conversant with Ogun, the god of iron, that is usually given the duty to administer its rites. They went to meet Prince Okunade Sijuwade who would later become the Ooni of Ife. They also met with Chief Afolabi Joseph. Even Chief Ebenezer Obey was also requested to intervene as well as Chief Nurudeen Alowonle.
The eminent persons appeared in the court of the Balogun of Ipokia as ‘amici curiae’ on behalf of the musicians. Amici curiae are lawyers invited by the judge(s) to assist in filling briefs that may be helpful to the court in deciding a case. Our eminent persons argued their case like experienced advocates. They cited relevant sections of the unwritten Yoruba constitution. They cited Yoruba proverbs. They made reference to the story of Oduduwa. The presiding chairman listened to their submissions and summarily dismissed the case. Contract is contract!
Chief did not only dismiss the request for a raise. He opened another file on his table and brought out a new set of documents. Your guess is right! A new five-year contract! By now, Sunny Ade had learnt enough law. He had become a professional mathematician. He had obtained his Master of Business Administration from practical experience. He knew the implication of putting pen to paper. He applied for an adjournment.
The King of African Beats found himself in a quandary. His new songs were ready but Chief had threatened not to release any new album until he signed the new contract. And KSA was not ready to sign any new contract until the issue of royalty was resolved.
KSA remembered his grandmother’s proverb. Ti abiku ba gbon ogbon ati ku ni igba erun, iya abiku a gbon ogbon ati sin oku e si etido. If an abiku decided to die during the dry season when he knew that the ground would be hard to dig, his parents would also decide to bury him by the riverside where the ground would not be hard to dig.
Sunny Ade decided to release his record with another company. His plan was to use the album to bargain for a better deal with African Songs. Instead of the measly 20 kobo, he was confident that the chairman would be ready to pay him at least N1.00 per copy. The album was recorded in Nigeria but taken to London for mixing. What Sunny Ade did not know was that Chief Abioro was a master at the game. Before Sunny could get a copy of his own album, Chief Abioro was already in possession of the new record.
Baba Ibeji was composing fresh materials at home when the court bailiffs arrived. They served him with an order of interim injunction! The court order was as comprehensive as it was broad. Sunny Ade was prohibited from sale, distribution, marketing, dealing, etc. etc. of the record. He read the order again. Even without being a lawyer, he knew the implication of the document he was holding.
With palpable emotion, his mind went back to how he came to Lagos from Abeokuta with only one shilling and eighteen pence! He remembered his years with Baba Sala. He recalled how he got stranded with Baba Sala’s travelling theatre in Jebba and Kano. How he did not see his mother for two years whilst he suffered to make it as a musician. He recalled how his first album sold only 13 copies. Now when he was at the threshold of success, this court order! With grim determination, he knew he couldn’t afford to quit.
He remembered his first day at Oshodi when he missed his way trying to locate Moses Olaiya’s house and how he was directed instead to Dr. Victor Olaiya at Tinubu. He recalled how he knelt down in the dust of Oshodi to pray. Immediately he knew what he must do. Sunny went down on his knees and with an emotional voice, he prayed and prayed. It was not the Sunday Adeniyi that knelt down to pray that stood up. He had become empowered. He had become emboldened. That same evening, he established his own label. Sunny Alade Records was born! He didn’t bother to sit down again. He remembered the threat of Chief Abioro to bring him down at all cost. He needed a lawyer who knew his law and who would be prepared to fight his cause against the Magnate. He went off in search of Gani Fawehinmi.
Gani collected the court papers and looked at the claims. He looked at his client. He looked again at the claims. Chief Abioro was not leaving anything to chance. He knew what he wanted from the court. His lawyer had read the agreement between African Songs Limited and Sunday Adeniyi.
Chief Abioro wanted only four things from the court: a declaration that the agreement between ASL and Sunday Adeniyi and his boys was still subsisting; an injunction restraining Sunny Ade from distributing or selling the record; an account of all sales of the record; and N1 million for breach of contract. I hope you are not sneering at the N1 million as being ‘chicken change’. Remember this was in 1974. The price of a brand new Volkswagen Beetle car was about N500 at that time. N1 million in 1974 was a princely sum!
On the day of the trial, the court was filled to capacity. Gani Fawehinmi was armed with every conceivable legal authority. The law books he brought to the court were more than enough to open a library. There were books on Contract. There were books on Human Rights. There were volumes on Intellectual Property. Gani even brought some books on Slave Trade.
The first application Gani brought before the court was for an order to compel African Songs to produce its statement of account over the preceding three years. The court granted the order. It was discovered that the company was making almost N900,000 every year from the sale of Sunny Ade Records. It was also discovered that the total sum that KSA received was N62,000 in the almost ten years he was with the company. How can you be asking me what is 900,000 divided by 62,000? I have told you that I’m not a mathematician. Please don’t ask me about percentages or fractions.
Gani did not forget to raise the issue of how 20kobo became 15 kobo. He also cross examined Chief Abioro at length on the onerous terms contained in the contract. Gani put it to the chief that the contract was in restraint of trade and that it was therefore null and void as it amounted to colonization of King Sunny Ade, a free citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and a citizen of the Commonwealth!
My Lord Justice L. J. Dosunmu listened patiently to the parties. His Lordship also asked the witnesses some probing cases. The court thereafter adjourned the matter to February 14, 1975 for judgment. It did not even occur to the King of African Beats that the day was St. Valentine’s Day. His only preoccupation was to find out the direction in which the pendulum of justice was going to swing.
On February 14, people started arriving at the court as early as 7am. The court officials had hectic time controlling the mammoth crowd that had come to court to witness the historic decision. In His Lordship’s judgment, Justice Dosunmu held that although some of the terms of the contract were stringent, that was not a ground for holding the contract invalid. In effect, the contract between ASL and KSA was therefore valid. As the court pronounced on the validity of the contract, Sunny looked at his lawyer. Gani signaled to him to be calm, the court had only resolved one issue out of four.
With regard to the second claim, the court held that since the records in question had been distributed all over Nigeria, there was no way the court could order them to be recalled. The court therefore refused to restrain Sunny Ade and his marketer, M. Ola Kazim from distributing the album. A tiny smile crossed Sunny’s face.
You recall that Chief Abioro was asking for N1,000,000 as damages for breach of contract. The court ruled that for recording with another company during the subsistence of the contract, Sunny Ade was liable. He was asked to pay N300! Yes, Three Hundred Naira! From N1,000,000 to N300! Sunny smiled for the first time.
The court having found that the contract was still subsisting, KSA was ordered not to release another album pending the expiration of the contract with Chief Abioro’s company, which was due in six months. Six months! What am I going to be eating? Sunny thought. Apparently, this was the only part of the judgment that Anti Wura, Buroda Alani’s third wife must have heard, and heard wrongly too! As if reading Sunny Ade’s mind, Justice Dosunmu said he realized that Sunny Ade would need to eat and feed his family in the six months that the contract had to run. His Lordship therefore held that the injunction was limited to only recording of albums and that Sunny Ade was free to do live performances for fees. His Lordship said that this was in order to avoid a situation where the King of Music would starve or be compelled to go back to Chief Abioro.
The Judge had hardly risen before King Sunny Ade jumped up to hug his counsel. He was free! He gave Gani a bear hug. He had learnt his lesson. Creativity and Business must go hand in hand. Years later, the King of Music recalled: “The lesson I learnt from the episode is that if an artiste is churning out hit records, he needs to keep an eye on the business side of things. If not, he would be in a mess.
Kingzjayzee: A Nigerian coffin maker who made the late Mohbad's casket has finally addressed the controversy surrounding the singer's posture in the casket.
In a response to netizens, the coffin maker, identified as @Heavenly Call Funerals, defended himself. He said it was not his fault that the singer's neck appeared bent.
He explained that due to the urgency of the burial, there was no time to take measurements for a customised fit.
According to the coffin maker, Mohbad's people requested the coffin to be made quickly, leaving no room for the usual measurement process. The urgency, he said, led to the casket's standard size being used. He added that this resulted in the singer's neck appearing bent to fit inside.
He said; “No time for measurement. You don't have to blame me for that cause they wanted it fast.”
Meanwhile, the video and photos of Mohbad's bent neck in the casket sparked outrage and condemnation from internet users. Many expressed their anger and disappointment and criticised the coffin maker for alleged mishandling of the burial arrangements.
However, some netizens sympathied with the coffin maker.
@ayor_aad said:
“Why so fast? Mohbad was never dead. That boy is crying in the grave right now. The injection they gave him was to make him pass out for a few days to make him look like he's really dead and that's why they had to bend his neck in the coffin to avoid chances of him waking up. I keep feeling this way.”
@xpensive_fatima reacted:
“The father is to blame cos why will he bury your son in a rush way? This the craziest thing I've ever seen in my life.”
@cherish_ebosereme_ said:
“Mohbad's father was one of the weapon fashioned against him.”
@flames.originals said:
“Maybe they paid the father to keep quiet and act fast.”
@gylliananthonette commented:
“Wetin concern the maker for the, na the papa suppose answer many questions cos why tf were vou in a hurry.”
@nnenna_blinks_ said:
“What was the reason wanting to bury him fast when he is not even a Muslim? And also wanting a coffin made fast without even measuring his body if it would fit. You see how fishy this young man's demise is? You see the question marks surrounding the ordeal. What was the reason?”
@bright_ r said:
“The question is: Why did they want the coffin fast? What happened to putting his body in the morque first?”
Thonyb2: Nigerian skit maker and brand influencer, Mandy Ayomiposi Oluwada, popularly known as Mandy Kiss, has said she regrets tattooing the face of rapper Naira Marley on her thighs following the death of his embattled former signee, Mohbad.
.ng recalls that there have been allegations linking Naira Marley to the sudden death of Mohbad.
Reacting via her Instagram story, Mandy expressed regrets for idolising the Marlian Music boss.
She wrote, “I regretted the day I tattooed ur face on my laps, Naira Marley.
“You’re a big m*ss.
“Best day of my life is June 30 d day I erased ur face.”
God knows I hate Naira Marley and his Marlian riff raffs
But what I can't stand is falsehood
How can Naira Marley who is abroad be responsible for the death of someone who got injected by an auxiliary nurse after suffering from fracture he got during a fight
How??

TruthsFM: Funny enough how some people listen to music without putting much attention to the lyrics. This naira Marley guy go explain tire but he no get evidence to support himself and his brand against the charges.
Aje, we need to understand clearly , literally & deep mind splitting lyrics of Songs we vibe to
Netplay: In her struggle for Mohbad, Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo paid a visit to former Marlian in-house DJ Mathew Aderoju aka DJ Splash at his parents’ home in Ikotun, Lagos. In the agonizing video, which has gone viral, he describes his ordeals at the hands of Naira Marley and Zinoleesky.
After winning the DJ Consequence DJ competition in 2020, DJ Splash was connected to Naira Marley, who signed him to Marlian Records.
Naira Marley and his crew, he claims, began conspiring to make him angry after he informed them of his decision to start singing in addition to his DJ job. He revealed that after moving into Marley’s label headquarters, he was introduced to a different way of life. He eventually developed mental problems and called out to his family, who came to his aid. Previously, Naira Marley and his crew had driven him out of the house after his family began questioning him.
When his mother arrived at Marlian Music HQ to fetch him up, he was apparently a shadow of his former self and suffered memory loss.

Kingzjayzee: She alleges that the singer's death was under mysterious circumstances.
In the document posted to her Instagram story, she appealed to the chief coroner to look into the tragic passing of the late singer Mohbad. The document was sent from her father Femi Falana's (SAN) law chambers, dated Monday, September 18, 2023. Falana, in her appeal, noted that Mohbad showed no symptoms of sickness before his passing, and was active.
The statement began, "We are aware of the very tragic death of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba. Popularly known as Mohbad who died on September 12 2023 under mysterious circumstances in Ikorodu Lagos. It was alleged that the young man showed no signs of ailments before he left home and even performed at a show in Ikorodu but died hours after his performance."
Going on, she requested that a coroner's inquest be conducted to ascertain the cause of the singer's demise, who was just 27 years old. Referring to the Lagos State Coroners Law, she requested that the request be met with urgency.
In her words, "Given the needless death of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, we are compelled to request you use your good offices to cause a coroner's inquest to be concluded into the cause of death of this young promising musician and make appropriate recommendations pursuant to section 15 of the Lagos state coroner's law 2007 which provides that an inquest shall hold whenever a coroner is informed that the death of a deceased person within his coroner's district is as a result of a death in a violent on natural or suspicious situation. We hereby request your lordship to conduct an inquest into the circumstances surrounding his tragic death in Lagos state and we are confident that your lordship will accede to our request with utmost urgency. Please your lordship accept the assurances of our principal, Femi Falana SAN."
