Why we quickly buried Mohbad – Mohbad\’s Father speaks
Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad, was buried the following day after passing suddenly on September 12 at the age of 27. Mohbad\’s father, Joseph Aloba, has given insight into the hasty burial of the late artist.
Aloba cited Yoruba tradition, in which it is usual not to postpone the burial of a deceased person if both parents are still living, as the reason for the hasty burial in a recent interview shared by Temilola Sobola (@TemilolaSobola) on Instagram on Tuesday.
He said that the possibility of preserving Mohbad\’s body in a morgue for a later date might have been taken into consideration if he had died at an older age.
Aloba further revealed that the land where his son was laid to rest belonged to Mohbad and that he had given it to him to build a church. He clarified that the decision to bury him swiftly was in accordance with Yoruba customs.
“In Yoruba land, his corpse is not the kind to be kept when both of his parents are still alive,” he said.
“That land where Mohbad was buried is his only land, that is the only land I know him to have owned.
“Truly he gave me the land to build my church because we had both agreed to build the church there and since that’s the only land I knew him to have.”
