Ayobami Sodiq, better known as Spending, has clarified the circumstances surrounding his last encounter with Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad, before the singer’s demise on September 12, 2023.
Spending, in a lengthy post on his social media account on Monday, explained that he last saw Mohbad alive between 11am and 12pm.
This was contrary to his earlier claim of 9pm.
Spending however attributed the discrepancy to the emotional trauma and anxiety he experienced following Mohbad’s sudden passing.
He disclosed that he was wrongfully accused of being present at Mohbad’s house on the day of his death and was detained at a police station.
This, according to him, affected his mental state, leading to the inconsistency in his earlier statement.
His words: “I would like to make clarification on the Last time I saw him alive was between 11am and 12 pm.
“I recall that sometime in February 2024, shortly after I was released from detention I appeared at Westo’s livestream on his TikTok platform to thank everyone who donated money towards my release, which was the plan.
“However, Westo asked me when the last time I saw Mohbad was before his demise, and I said I saw him last at 9 PM on Monday after we got back from the show.
“The timing I gave is not accurate. I had suffered emotionally dealing with anxiety and psychological, mental and physical trauma from Mohbad’s unexpected passing away who I so miss.
“I was wrongfully accused of being present in Mohbad’s house on the day he passed away and being detained at the police station.
“I wasn’t in the right frame of mind when Westo asked the question.”
Spending apologised for any confusion caused, stating that he never intended to deceive or conceal information.
He maintained that he left Mohbad’s house between 3pm and 4pm on September 11, 2023, consistent with his earlier testimony at the coroner’s inquest.
He added: “I never intended to deceive, conceal nor lie about when last I saw Mohbad and for that,
“I tender my apology for the misinformation.
