Mohbad’s father: I didn’t ask Primeboy to run away

Joseph Aloba, father of late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad, has denied plotting an escape by Owodunni Ibrahim aka Primeboy following the death of his son.

Aloba, who reacted to an interview by the deceased’s mother, Bosede Adeyemo, said he never had any encounter with Primeboy since the incident happened.

In the interview, Adeyemo claimed that her ex-husband instructed Primeboy, who is Mohbad’s childhood friend, to run away to avoid being arrested and also not to be implicated in the late singer’s death.

However, Mohbad’s father in a statement by his lawyer, Monisola Odumosu, on Friday, said the only time he ever met Primeboy was during his appearance at the coroner’s court.

THE ROUND TABLE: Nigerian Economy: The statement read in part, “Our client wishes to state that he did not and has not had any talks or discussions relating to the death of his son or any other issues with the said Primeboy since the death of his son, Ilerioluwa Aloba.

“The only time they met after the death of his son was at the coroner’s court sitting where  Primeboy and our client only exchanged pleasantries  in the presence of everyone, and there was no discussions between them.”

While faulting the claim by Adeyemo, the statement added that Mohbad’s father was after getting justice for his late son.

“Mr. Joseph Aloba will not cover anyone no matter how great or mighty the person may be. He is after justice for the untimely snuffing out of the life of his great son. He uses this opportunity to urge Primeboy to tell the Coroner Court all what he knows without shielding anyone.
