“Material things outweigh your love for your son” – Tonto Dikeh letter to late Mohbad’s father

Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh has criticized Mr. Joseph Aloba, the father of the late Nigerian rapper, Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba, also known as Mohbad, for his handling of his son’s death. Dikeh expressed her belief that the father’s focus on material possessions and wealth appears to overshadow his love for his late son.

In an open letter shared on her Instagram page, the actress condemned Mr. Aloba for hastily burying Mohbad within 24 hours of his passing. She also questioned his decision to ask Nigerians for financial assistance in conducting a DNA test on Mohbad’s son, rather than requesting the test be performed by the deceased’s wife.

Furthermore, Dikeh alleged that Mohbad’s father now charges a fee of N10,000/15,000 for interviews regarding his late son’s death.

The letter reads: “Papa Mohbad, I can empathize with the harsh realities of poor condition, but when it involves your own flesh and blood, your son, it’s truly heartbreaking. How is it that material things or wealth seems to outweigh the love for your own child?

“The hurried and undignified burial of our dear Mohbad within a mere 24 hours of his supposed passing, compounded by insufficient arrangements due to financial constraints after getting a whooping sum of 2million Naria, is deeply distressing considering his status. Need I remind you of the shameless, senseless and inhumane way mob’s neck was broken?

The decision to exhume your son’s remains stemmed from a collective outcry of Nigerian youth- which is a testament to our shared concern, While we acknowledged that Mohbadis indeed your son, please note, he was a married man, and the responsibility should extend to his wife regardless of any circumstances.

“In your quest for global assistance and DNA verification, it’s crucial to address the right of that woman personally, the one who holds the answers.
