The management of late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad<\/strong>, has slammed his father, Joseph Aloba, with a \u20a6200 million defamation suit equivalent to $224,456.<\/p>\n It was earlier reported that Mohbad\u2019s father, in an interview with TVC, revealed that his late son left behind a thumbprint-only will that was not signed.<\/p>\n But the allegation was rebuffed by Mohbad\u2019s management, describing the alleged will as unprecedented and unreal.<\/p>\n The lawsuit signed by Mohbad\u2019s management lawyer, Bankole Falade, demanded that Mohbad\u2019s father retract what they called \u201cslanderous\u201d remarks and provide a public apology.<\/p>\n The retraction, it stated, must be published on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube for three consecutive days.<\/p>\n The management further demanded Mr Aloba publish an apology letter on Instablognaija on Instagram and Punch newspaper within 14 days.<\/p>\n According to the management, failure to comply will lead to seeking redress in the court of law.<\/p>\n \u201cYou are to publish the same unqualified apology within 14 days of this letter with payment of N200,000,000 (Two hundred Million Naira) through this honourable chambers (Bankole Falade & Co) within the set period,\u201d the lawsuit read in part.<\/p>\n In an earlier statement posted on the\u00a0singer\u2019s Instagram page<\/strong>, the\u00a0management\u00a0refuted claims that the \u201cKPK\u201d crooner left behind a will.<\/p>\n The management clarified that neither any member of Mohbad\u2019s team nor his lawyer had communicated the existence of a will or any thumb-printed document.<\/p>\n They said the claim was false and urged the deceased\u2019s family not to believe such information, advising the public to refrain from sharing false and misleading statements.<\/p>\n The management also said a \u201cPost No Debit order\u201d was placed on all accounts owned and controlled by the late singer on 12 September 2023 and is still in effect.<\/p>\n The management further stated that the accounts would be transferred to the family once the internal dispute was resolved.<\/p>\n This statement was in reaction to Mohbad\u2019s father\u2019s revelation that he learned about his son\u2019s will.<\/p>\n Mr Aloba, who expressed shock, mentioned that as a father, he had never anticipated or known about his late son having a will.<\/p>\n Mr Aloba noted that the will bore a thumbprint instead of a signature, contending that the thumbprints were affixed posthumously after the singer\u2019s demise.<\/p>\n He said, \u201cMohbad is the kind of person who will never think of using his hand to thumbprint. Instead of that, he will sign. Because he was dead, they had to call a lawyer to do their mathematics inside.<\/p>\n \u201cI did not believe that. He cannot thumbprint, and he is supposed to sign. I, as his father, cannot even say I want a thumbprint. I have my signature, and he has his signature, too. Simply because they cannot trace him, they had to use his hand to thumbprint many things there.\u201d<\/p>\n On 12 September 2023, MohBad died in Lagos. His death sparked many controversies, with many demanding an investigation into what led to his death.<\/p>\n His former record label bosses, Naira Marley and Sam Larry, were arrested in connection with his death on allegations of bullying and more.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1705790802_114_image-322.png\")
