Recording artiste, Mohbad, real name Ilerioluwa Aloba died at the age of 27, on September 12, 2023 under controversial circumstances.
Following the inability of the legal team to get the witnesses in the case served summons through the court, a Corona’s court in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State has ordered substituted service in a reputable national newspaper and social media.
On the witness list are Naira Marley, Samson Eletu aka Sam Larry, Mohbad’s sister-in-law, Karimot Ogunbayo; Boluwatife Adeyemo aka Darosha, Oluwasanmi Falade among others.
Also on the witness list are the nurse who was said to have treated the deceased during the period, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, and the driver who drove him to the hospital, Fidelis Esanbor.
The application for substituted service granted by Magistrate T. A. Sotobi was moved by Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba on August 16.
“Magistrate Sotobi, sitting at the Ikorodu Magistrate court Friday 16 August 2024 agreed with the legal team of Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, that the new witnesses should be served via substituted means in a reputable national newspaper and social media to ensure prompt attendance of the new witnesses.

Ahmed, Oluyemi Osalusi Esq., Wole Ariyibi and Sadiq Kamo) representing Mr Joseph Aloba, sought an order of the coroner’s court to issue Witness Summons on interested persons as witnesses to give evidence on the connection and circumstances leading to the death of late Ilerioluwa Promise Aloba (Mohbad), who died in suspicious circumstances on September 12, 2023. Mr Joseph Aloba also asked for an order to issue Witness Summons against Nurse Feyisayo Ogedengbe, Boluwatife Adeyemo (A.K.A Darosha), Karimot Titilayo Ogunbayo, Barr.
