Mohbad’s Father Reveals ₦16M Spent on Autopsy Amid Death Controversy
Joseph Aloba, father of the late Afrobeats singer Mohbad, has revealed that he spent a staggering ₦16 million on his son’s autopsy amid ongoing controversy surrounding the artist’s death.
Mohbad, who tragically passed away in 2023, left fans and the public searching for answers, with widespread speculation suggesting foul play may have been involved.
In response to the mounting pressure and uncertainty, an autopsy was conducted to determine the true cause of death.
Pathologists later reported that the late singer may have died from a fatal anaphylactic shock or an adverse drug reaction, though definitive conclusions remain debated.
In a recent live video, Mr. Aloba shared that he covered the ₦16 million autopsy cost, a revelation that has sparked renewed conversations about the tragic circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s untimely passing and the pursuit of justice.

Recall, the wife of late Nigerian singer Mohbad, Wunmi, has publicly pleaded with her father-in-law to lay her husband to rest, following the completion of forensic investigations into his death.
Expressing her frustration, Wunmi accused Mohbad’s father of intentionally delaying the burial and the DNA test he had previously demanded.
In a strongly worded statement, she alleged that some individuals were exploiting her husband’s death for financial gain.
“He is also delaying the DNA test he demanded so loudly. He does not want the truth, he wants the conversation to continue because as long as it does, the money and support will keep coming. And he is not alone in this.
There are people on social media who stand with him, who act as his spokespersons. These people have turned my husband’s death into a business. They profit from this tragedy. They have built platforms off my pain. They have made careers out of bullying me and my child. They make money from telling lies about me, from spreading malicious propaganda to discredit me. And worse, some of them even pay my father-in-law a monthly salary from what they make online.”
