Material things seem to outweigh the love for your own child, you now charge 10k/15K to be interviewed – Tonto Dike slams Mohbad’s father

Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has criticized Mr. Joseph Aloba, the father of the late Nigerian rapper Mohbad (Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba), for how he handled his son’s death. She contends that his affection for material possessions or wealth appears to outweigh his love for his deceased son.

In an open letter posted on her Instagram page, the actress expressed disapproval of Elder Aloba’s swift burial of Mohbad within 24 hours of his demise. Additionally, she rebuked him for seeking financial assistance from Nigerians for a DNA test on Mohbad’s child instead of approaching the deceased’s wife for the same purpose.

Dikeh also alleged that Mohbad’s father now demands payment ranging from N10,000 to N15,000 for interviews discussing the circumstances surrounding his late son’s death.

The open letter partly read: “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 Mohbad is 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.

“By the way I totally agree with a DNA, but why are you asking Nigerians for a DNA and not Wunmi?

“Your immersion in social media, driven by trivialities and fleeting fame, is disheartening. I find solace in the knowledge that you are not a part of my family, sparing us the pain of witnessing your disregard for your son’s memory.

“It’s bewildering that your discontent only surfaced upon witnessing contributions to your grandson in custody of his mother “Your late son’s wife”, BUT YOU NOW CHARGE 10k/15K to be interviewed. Papa Mohbad, how does one fail their own flesh and blood not once, but twice?

“My heart aches for the pain you are causing and the deep wounds left unhealed.

“But I’ll leave you with this words, DO RIGHT BY YOUR SON.” [sic].
