Mohbad: Oba Elegushi Speaks On Fathering Late Singer’s Son
The Elegushi of Ikate Elegushi Kingdom, Oba Saheed Elegushi, has denied claims of fathering Liam, son of the late singer, IleriOluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad, saying the rumours were a desperate attempt to tarnish his reputation.
The monarch was alleged by a TikToker, Oloriebimusicproduction2, who made several posts on his TikTok page, that Elegysh might be implicated in the death of the late Mohbad.
It was also alleged that the monarch was leveraging his influence to obstruct justice for the late singer.
But the monarch, while reacting, said a petition has been filed against individuals propagating these allegations.
He described the allegations as baseless.
A statement by his media consultant, Deyemi Saka, read, “We would like to respond to a new desperate attempt at dragging His Royal Majesty, Oba Saheed Elegushi, into the needless paternity dispute over the son of Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
“The widely syndicated falsehood was promoted by some persons with the underlisted profile on the social media app TikTok, namely: Oloriebimusicproduction2, PEKINS RULES, and WESTO4LIVE. Also, the same falsehood is being promoted by Auto Success Ola, Olubukola Jesse, Teni Ologo, and Tolani Ilesanmi.
“This is to inform the public that the allegation is false and a figment of the wicked imaginations of these persons.
“HRM Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi, through his lawyers, has filed a petition against these persons with the Nigeria Police and other relevant security agencies in a bid to enforce his fundamental human rights and protect him from cyberbullies, while he is hopeful the Nigeria Police will collaborate with relevant international security organisations in this quest for redress.”
Oba Elegushi, while extending condolences to the family of the late singer, implored members of the public not to entangle the traditional institution in the paternity dispute.
“It must be stated emphatically that Oba Elegushi, just like many Nigerians, is saddened by the sudden demise of Mohbad, and demands a thorough investigation and a quick dispensation of justice.
“While we pray to Almighty God to grant the Alobas the immense strength to bear this painful loss, we urge people to refrain from dragging the integrity of His Royal Majesty, Oba Saheed Elegushi, and the revered traditional institution he represents into public disrepute,” the statement noted.
