It’s been a year since rapper MohBad’s tragic death, and the Aloba family’s legal team remains persistent in their pursuit of justice.
They’ve faced roadblocks from the Nigerian Police, whose handling of the investigation has been criticized as “shoddy and compromising.” A second autopsy and toxicology test is underway, with results expected from forensic labs in Europe, bypassing earlier controversial investigations.
Despite facing powerful figures, the family isn’t backing down, and they are determined to get to the truth—no matter how long it takes.
Central to the discussions is his tumultuous relationship with Naira Marley, his former record label boss, which included allegations of physical abuse and threats to his life. Following Mohbad’s death, public outcry led to over 200,000 signatures on a petition to ban Marlian Records.
An autopsy conducted after his body was exhumed failed to determine the cause of death, leading Mohbad’s family to demand an independent investigation. Legal disputes have also emerged, including questions about the paternity of Mohbad’s son, Liam, and accusations between family members regarding motives and actions surrounding his death.
As the coroner’s inquest continues, the absence of key witnesses like Naira Marley raises further questions. Despite the ongoing turmoil, Mohbad’s legacy endures, with fellow artists releasing music in his honor.
