The bereaved father of Mohbad narrated how his second wife would ask him to choose between her and his son in an interview with the BBC.
This is coming weeks after the death of his son made a wave all over the internet and on the global space.
In the interview, Mr Aloba narrated the ordeal his late son encountered with his second wife:
“My name is Mr. Aloba Joseph Oluwabamiwo, and I am the father of the late Mohbad.
“Mohbad was a quiet person who didn’t talk much. Whatever you gave him would satisfy him. He was my friend, and we used to go out together.
“Whatever I was doing, he would always join me, and we were very close. We were like brothers.”
“Ilerioluwa was someone who liked to do the things I did. He saw me as a bishop and when I went out, he was ready to follow me.
“Sometimes, he would dance and sometimes, he would support me. That’s how we started.
“I never thought he could even sing, but there was a time when we were at a Redeemed Church, and I promised him that after I finished building our house, I would buy him a talking drum. He was happy.
“After buying him that talking drum, within three days, he learned how to play it. I was so surprised.”
To addressing his reasons for marrying more than one woman, he added: “I can say Mohbad was the reason for having multiple wives because after his mother left me, I had to marry another person.”
