A professional driver who drove late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba aka Mohbad to a show before his d3ath has recounted the events that occurred on that fateful day.
The driver said that Mohbad appeared emotionally unsettled and was involved in multiple heated arguments with his wife, Wunmi, and associate, Primeboy.
The driver stated that Mohbad and Wunmi began arguing in Yoruba during the drive to the event, with Wunmi saying in pidgin, “you dey disgrace me and your pikin.”
At the venue, Mohbad performed and was escorted back to the vehicle by soldiers due to a crowd of area boys requesting money.
The driver recounted a physical altercation between Mohbad and Primeboy, where Mohbad punched Primeboy and eventually injured himself when his hand struck the vehicle’s glass. The injury caused visible bloodstains on the vehicle’s foot mat and Wunmi’s clothes.
On the way home, tensions escalated further, with Wunmi insulting Mohbad and grabbing him by the shirt collar tightly until his necklace broke.
The driver condemned her actions, stating, “If Wunmi was my wife, I would have beaten her blue-black for the nonsense she did in that car.”
The driver also denied rumours that Mohbad tried to throw his son into a river, saying, “That never happened. It’s not true.” He added that he urged both Mohbad and Wunmi to calm down after returning home and slept outside in the car.
The driver received a call instructing him to report to the nearest police station the next day, and it was then that he learned of Mohbad’s d3ath.
“I was shocked, How come?” he said almost in tears.
“I am into the business of car hiring and have been doing this for over 20 years.”
“On the day of the show, I went to Mohbad’s house. He came out with his wife and son looking happy and was playing with his child.”
“The only thing I heard clearly was when Wunmi said in pidgin, ‘you dey disgrace me and your pikin.’ She even threatened not to go again, but we all pleaded with her.”
“He told Primeboy to get down and began punching him. Primeboy kept saying, ‘Mohbad I can’t fight you, I can’t touch you,’ but Mohbad didn’t stop. He kept hitting him. It was when Primeboy dodged one blow that Mohbad’s hand struck the Prado’s glass, and he injured himself.”
“Mohbad and Wunmi started arguing again. She insulted him, calling him names like ‘oloriburuku’ and ‘oloshi.’ She even claimed she once helped him borrow N200,000 in 2020 which he gave to his mother. Mohbad replied that he would pay her back. Then she grabbed him by the shirt collar tightly until his necklace broke.”
“If Wunmi was my wife, I would have beaten her blue-black for the nonsense she did in that car.”
“That never happened. It’s not true.” (referring to rumours that Mohbad tried to throw his son into a river)
