We Can’t Say it is Naira Marley That Did it – Mohbad’s Dad Speaks On His Son’s Death [Video]
The father of late singer, Oladimeji Aloba aka Mohbad, has said that Naira Marley cannot be blamed for the death of his son.
In a fresh interview, Mr Joseph Aloba said Naira Marley was not present when his son, Mohbad died.
The distraught father said Mohbad was his friend, helper and the light of his family. When asked what might have killed his son, Mr Aloba said;
‘’The only revelation that I have on that very day is that a day to his death, I had a dream. I saw someone in the front of my house holding a gun. In the dream, I dodged the bullet. On that very Tuesday, I decided to stay at home, praying concerning the dream I had. By 4 O’clock, they called me that I should come to VI to meet him at the hospital. On my way there, at the bus stop, they called me again that I should go back home and that everything has been settled. As an elderly person, I knew that there was something behind that. That is not something they can tell me at the busstop. So I refused. I now went back to his house. I reached his house. He was already dead.”
When asked who were those that took Mohbad to the hospital when he died, he responded;
‘’I don’t know exactly who they are. I can only blame them that they allowed an auxiliary nurse to be working on him in that level because Mohbad is not the kind of person they can put in a room and call a nurse. Which kind of nurse? Is she qualified? Mere looking at what happened, that is not a qualified nurse, giving him injection inside a room. Maybe it is the effect of the injection that resulted to this because according to them, after giving him the injection, he was vomitting. One of his boys now decided that they should put him on an ‘Okada’ so they can take him to the hospital. That is what I heard from them”
Responding to speculations that he was rushed to the hospital with some head and neck injuries, the father said;
‘’It is not neck. The injury is on the hand”
According to him, the boys with Mohbad said one of the deceased singer’s bosom friend met him at a show and they exchanged pleasantries the way they normally do. He said some of his son’s boys were displeased by the way they greeted and asked the friend to leave Mohbad alone but Mohbad insisted that his friend stayed with him and even allowed him into the car he rode in. He said he was told that when they got to their destination, Mohbad became angry and sustained the injury on his hand.
‘’That very day, he did not complain to anybody, It was the following day that the hand became swollen and that was when they called a nurse. I don’t know the type of nurse they called.” He said
He said he did not hear anything from the doctors and that the body was already home when he arrived Mohbad’s residence.
‘’I am the one that decided that they should pick him up to Ikorodu for his burial. My belief is that God that gives and God that takes”
Responding to a question on what steps he took to address the complains by Mohbad that Naira Marley and others were assaulting him, the distraught father said;
‘’I tried my best to reach Naira Marley but everything was in vain. When this issue happened, I wanted to trek to his house but I was scared because I didn’t know what I will meet there. There was a time that Naira Marley called me, for me to call him back was not possible. Someone that you do not have contact with, it will be difficult for you to reach him.
I heard a lot of things happened to him but you cannot say it’s Naira Marley because he was attacked when he was doing his new album with ZLatan. We cannot say it is Naira Marley because the people that came is not Naira Marley, so we can’t say it’s Naira Marley that did it”
He dismissed claims that his deceased son was into drugs.

Meet the Man Who Turned Hype Into a Science: Emmy Blaq, Nigeria’s G.O.A.T. of Hype
If you have ever been at a Nigerian event and found yourself on your feet before the main act even stepped on stage, there is a good chance a hype man was responsible. But not just any hype man. Emmy Blaq, born Ikechukwu Emmanuel Chima and raised in Auchi, Edo State, has spent the last few years quietly becoming the most talked-about name in that profession, and the Nigerian press has taken notice. Punch, Vanguard, The Guardian Nigeria, The Nation, and Independent Newspaper have all sat down with him, and every conversation leads back to the same thing: this man does not just make noise; he makes moments.
What makes Emmy Blaq different is the journey behind the energy. Before the stages, the collaborations with Waje on her “Waje 2.0” album, DJ Consequence, and DJ Kaywise on the massively streamed “Joor Party Mix” series, he was repairing generators, cutting hair, and sewing clothes in Auchi. His first professional hype gig happened at a local fast food spot called Valchi, and the crowd response that night changed everything. He told The Nation directly: “My passion for entertainment and desire to make people happy led me into the craft.” Punch also captured his bigger mission when he said that hype men deserve more than what they currently earn, a statement that sparked a real conversation across Nigerian entertainment circles.
With over 1.7 million TikTok followers, 23.6 million TikTok likes, a viral “Wife Material” challenge that landed on Pulse Nigeria’s top ten social media moments of 2021, and an international performance at the Cameroon International Music Festival that Cameroonian media described as electrifying, Emmy Blaq is not building toward something. He is already there. The G.O.A.T. of Hype is not a title he gave himself and hoped would stick. It is one the rooms keep confirming every single time he grabs the mic.
