The interview comes shortly after VeryDarkMan spoke with one of Mohbad’s close friends, who revealed details that added a new layer to the already complicated situation.
In the viral video shared on VDM’s Instagram page, Mr. Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba recounted how what seemed like a routine hospital update quickly turned into the most devastating day of his life.

“I waited so we could go together. She came with Wunmi’s aunty, Iya Tunde, and we got on a ferry.”

While they were on their way, several calls came in. One call, in particular, stood out. It was from Darosha Mohbad’s cousin and close associate.

“He told me, ‘You can go back home, Moh is fine and receiving treatment.’ But I refused. I knew something was wrong.”

By the time they arrived at Osapa London bus stop around 6:30 p.m., Mr. Aloba said he became even more certain that things weren’t right. They eventually reached the house at about 9:00 p.m.

“The first thing I saw was a duvet soaked with blod. I was confused.”

Soon after, Mohbad’s friend, Lifestyle, called him downstairs. There, he saw his son’s lifeless body on the floor, surrounded by Islamic clerics. According to him, the house was filled with people, including Zlatan, DJ Bami, Darosha, and Mohbad’s lawyer.

He also said Wunmi, the singer’s wife, was crying and explained that Mohbad had reacted badly to an injection.

As a pastor, Mr. Aloba said he instantly dismissed that explanation.

Even more disturbing events unfolded at the police station.

He said:

“We went to the police station. As I was giving my statement, someone came out and said they must not give me the police report because I didn’t report his death on time.”

He further alleged that Wunmi had the doctor’s report but did not speak up, and that his son’s body was embalmed in the house without his consent. To make matters worse, the morgue reportedly refused to accept the body that night.
