Abosede, the mother of the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad, has accused Samson Balogun, also known as Sam Larry, and Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, of contributing to her son’s demise.
In an interview with Punch, Mohbad’s mother opens up on late son, ex-husband and Naira Marley.
Abosede revealed that her son faced constant struggle due to the influence of Naira Marley and Sam Larry.
“Mohbad did not know peace throughout his lifetime. He was always going from one problem to another in the hands of Naira Marley and Sam Larry. His manager was Naira Marley’s brother, and I did not like him.
“Every time I went there, I always told Mohbad to stay away from him, yet he was always sleeping on Mohbad’s bed. I told Mohbad to keep away from everyone associated with Naira Marley and should not work with them anymore. I had always been involved in my son’s life. Every curse that Naira Marley rains on me will return to him,” she said.
She recounted an incident when Mohbad, fearing for his safety, reached out to her in the middle of the night after a conversation with Naira Marley about changing his manager and how his ex-signee boss brought out something he wanted him to take, stating,
“At that moment, Mohbad was scared, and he ran to the bathroom, from where he called me. I then called my pastor, who asked us to pray.
“Sam Larry beat Mohbad, complaining that he owed him money, but that is not true. My son confided in me.
“Naira Marley beat him up one time, and he ended up in the hospital. We had to use hot water to massage his body, and he could not talk for two days because he was seriously beaten. He even developed hypertension.
“When Mohbad recovered from the sickness, Naira did not want him back in Marlian Music. He said he was spoiling their name; and Mohbad also did not want to go back. I went with the father to plead with Naira. That was the first time I went to the house. It was Joseph that was always going there. I want justice for my son.”
