Nigerians have raised allegations against certain members of the late singer Mohbad’s family, suggesting that they are conspiring to claim his properties from his grieving 24-year-old widow.
Leading reporters recalls that Mohbad died on Tuesday, September 12, under circumstances that have led to conflicting reports about the cause of his death.
According to some accounts, he had sought medical treatment for an ear infection but, following an injection, he lost consciousness and did not wake up again.
Another report claims that during a recent performance at a concert in Ikorodu, he was allegedly struck with a fetish object, commonly referred to as “juju.”
Despite the controversy surrounding his death, Mohbad was buried in accordance with Islamic rites on September 13, less than 24 hours after his demise.
Videos of the burial procession have circulated on social media, with some people expressing disbelief after seeing where the famous singer would be buried beside a cassava farm.
In one of the videos recorded at his gravesite in Ikorodu, some family members could be heard warning Mohbad’s wife not to approach his burial site else they would take control of his property.
Social media users expressed outrage at the men for allegedly planning to seize Mohbad’s assets from his wife and their son.
