Mohbad’s Father, Joseph Aloba Accuses Naira Marley Of Harassing Son Despite Public Denial

Joseph Aloba, father of late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba (Mohbad), has rejected Naira Marley’s denial of involvement in his son’s troubles.

Speaking to Sunday Scoop, Aloba maintained that Mohbad endured harassment under Marley’s watch despite public claims to the contrary.

He recalled confronting Marley after hearing troubling accounts from his son and said he later witnessed incidents that confirmed Mohbad was mistreated.

According to Aloba, even one of Marley’s close associates reported that the singer physically assaulted Mohbad.

“I went to see Naira Marley over some of the things Mohbad had said, and that was all. But later, a lot of other things happened that I personally witnessed. There were about three other people present at the time; two of them are still alive today.

“They were people working with Naira Marley, even though they were younger and still under him. One of them once came to me to report that Naira Marley was beating Mohbad.

“When we went to see him to apologise, he wasn’t even speaking respectfully. People think I went there to collect money, but life is much more than just what I want to eat,” he said.
