The family of Nigerian musician, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has kicked against the plans to celebrate the first anniversary of his death.
The lawyer of the family, Monisola Odumosu, made this known in a statement she issued to the media on Monday.
Odumosu said: “It has come to the attention of the Aloba family that some organisations have been planning to celebrate the first anniversary of the death of our late son and singer, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (Mohbad).
“The Aloba family wishes to appeal to such interest groups to suspend such ideas.
“The late singer is yet to be buried.
“As such, the family would wish the public to join them in prayers at his anniversary rather than organise any elaborate event that will affect their emotions.
“It is no longer news that some individuals and organisations have been planning to carry out events to commemorate the late singer’s death.
“We will appeal to such persons and organisations to seek proper approval from the family before going on with such plans.
“The Aloba family would not wish the goodwill of their illustrious son to be employed for commercial purposes.”
