Fans protest MohBad’s ‘untimely’ death
Fans of the late hip hop sensation, Ilerioluwa Aloba, widely known as MohBad, took to the streets of Akure, the Ondo State capital, to express their solidarity with the grieving family of the departed singer.
Clad in black attire, the fans embarked on a procession along prominent routes, including Adesida and Arakale roads, culminating at the Nepa roundabout.
Their presence brought vehicular movement on one of the dual carriageways to a standstill for several hours, undeterred by an evening rain that nearly disrupted the march.
Throughout their journey, they chanted various songs in honour of MohBad’s memory, with placards which read, #JusticeforMohbad and #WhoOfLight among others.
The cause of 27-year-old Mohbab,death is still unknown, and the Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has also invited the State Security Service to investigate the death, which has sparked controversy.

Comrade Ogundipe Oláníyì, the organiser of the solidarity walk, explained that the fans in Akure felt compelled to join their voices with other prominent Nigerians in condemning the singer’s death.
He called on law enforcement agencies already involved in investigating MohBad’s death to conduct a thorough and impartial inquiry, seeking justice for the deceased.
Furthermore, Comrade Olaniyi offered valuable advice to aspiring musicians, urging them to exercise caution when selecting partners to further their careers.
The security agencies closely monitored the event to prevent any potential disruption of public order.
