PIn an ongoing saga surrounding the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, widely known as Mohbad, his management has initiated legal suit against his father, Joseph Aloba.
The management, represented by lawyer Bankole Falade, has filed a N200 million defamation suit against Mohbad’s father, following his claims about an alleged thumbprint-only will left behind by the late singer.
The dispute emerged when Joseph Aloba, in an interview with TVC, asserted that his late son had left behind a will with only a thumbprint and no signature.
In response to the statements made by Mohbad’s father, the management has taken legal action, demanding a retraction of what they consider “slanderous” remarks and a public apology.
The lawsuit stipulates that the retraction must be published on various social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, for three consecutive days. Additionally, Mohbad’s father is required to publish an apology letter on Instablognaija on Instagram and Punch newspaper within 14 days.
The legal documents state that failure to comply with these demands within the specified timeframe will prompt the management to pursue further legal suit, including seeking redress in court.
The legal suit also includes a monetary component, with a demand for payment of N200 million as compensation for defamation.

In an earlier statement posted on Mohbad’s Instagram page, the management categorically denied the existence of any will or thumb-printed document left behind by the late singer.
They emphasized that no member of Mohbad’s team or his lawyer had communicated the existence of such documents. The management urged the public not to believe false information and cautioned against sharing misleading statements.
Notably, a “Post No Debit order” has been placed on all accounts owned by Mohbad since September 12, 2023, and remains in effect. The accounts are expected to be transferred to the family once the internal dispute is resolved.
The Backdrop
The backdrop of this legal dispute is the tragic death of Mohbad on September 12, 2023, in Lagos. His passing sparked various controversies, leading to the arrest of his former record label bosses, Naira Marley and Sam Larry, on allegations of bullying and more.
The nurse responsible for administering a tetanus vaccine to Mohbad was also apprehended by the Lagos State Police Command after it was revealed that she was an unlicensed practitioner.
As the legal battle unfolds, the public awaits further developments in this complex and emotionally charged case.
