Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, had a recent media interview with an unnamed London-based blogger, which landed him in more trouble. On Monday, officers from the Force Criminal Investigation Department in Alagbon, Ikoyi, Lagos State, questioned him concerning a petition filed by a famous Lagos monarch, Oba Saheed Elegushi. Punch newspaper quoted Mr Aloba’s legal team lead, Monisola Odumosu, as saying that the police interrogated him for cyberbullying, cyberstalking, and criminal defamation.
Ms Odumosu stated that the petition followed Mr Aloba’s recent interview. It partly read: “During the interview, Mr Aloba granted the London-based blogger (name not mentioned), it was alleged that he said, ‘..
. his son was bullied and killed on the instruction of Oba Elegushi and that it was one Sam Larry that was sent to do the job..
.’” Mr Elegushi has since dissociated himself from Sam Larry (Naira Marley’s associate) and refuted the allegation he fathered Liam (Mohbad’s son) in a statement. On Sunday, Mr Aloba, on his official TikTok account, revealed that a petition about him was being circulated online, though he claimed he had yet to be officially served.
