People tag Mohbad’s father evil for burying him early because he’s poor — Seun Kuti

Renowned Afrobeat singer, Seun Kuti, has criticized those who are reproaching the father of the late Nigerian musician, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, for conducting a swift burial. The swift burial has caused discontent among many fans of the singer, who took to social media to criticize his father for burying his son without proper arrangements and investigations.

In response to the disapproval surrounding Mohbad’s hurried burial, Seun Kuti expressed his views during a recent interview with media personality Nedu on Thehonestbunch podcast. Seun Kuti pointed out that the deceased’s father is facing condemnation primarily because of his financial circumstances.

According to him; “Poverty is playing a big role in this whole Mohbad issue. People are saying Mohbad’s father killed him because he buried him early. Who will be looking at his son’s dead body for two to three days?” He queried.

Speaking in Pidgin, Kuti asked, “If na Otedola pikin die and he bury am overnight, wetin anybody go talk here? No be sey una go dey give am condolences visit for house?

“Instead of us to be consoling the man, we are making him evil that can kill his son. Somebody that just lost his child. You like the boy pass am na hin dem dey bully the boy all these days and you no talk anything.”
