Mohbad’s father seeks president Tinubu’s intervention as he releases a new song demanding justice for his late son.
It is no longer news that the mystery and controversy surrounding the demise of late Mohbad has continued to rage on.
Mohbad’s father, Mr Joseph Aloba recently released a new song to demand justice for his son.
In the song, he acknowledged Verydarkman for fighting for the justice of his son and always fighting for the masses.
Mixed reactions from social media have trailed the video as netizens opine that he is simply ‘chasing clout’ with his son’s demise.’
What the new song contains
In a track that combines spoken-word lines and a mournful chorus, Mr Joseph Aloba — who lost his son under still-disputed circumstances — pleads for institutional action and publicly asks President Tinubu to intervene and ensure a thorough, transparent investigation. The song alternates between raw emotion and pointed calls for accountability, and it names key figures and movements that have been prominent in the online campaign for answers.
Musically, the production leans on a slow, percussion-led beat with somber piano flourishes. The video that accompanies the song is short but heavily symbolic: scenes of family photos, candlelight vigils, and footage of protests are intercut with shots of Mr Aloba addressing the camera directly. The director uses closeups to capture the father's grief, while cutaways to crowds and placards emphasize the broader public demand for justice.
Sources close to Mr Aloba say the recording was organised quickly, driven by the father's desire to amplify his message beyond conventional interviews and press statements. In the lyrics he repeats the refrain of 'I want the truth', and at several points addresses the president by name, urging swift action and protection for witnesses who may come forward.
Public reaction — from sympathy to suspicion
As soon as the video was shared online, it attracted a wide range of responses. Some users expressed sympathy and said they welcomed any step that could push the case forward. Others, however, reacted angrily and accused the father of insincerity or opportunism. A few voices raised concerns about the timing and presentation of the video, while many more focused on the emotional weight of a parent pleading for answers about their child.
Selected reactions from social platforms
@Maxebm_ said: “Wahala, this man’s head is not correct”
@Samwisedey stated: “Most shameless man alive”
@princeshootings wrote: “No matter how much he wants justice for his dear late son, I still find this unnecessary sha.”
@AkuSydney noted: “What kills me is the dancers, still dressing like this in music video in 2025″
@DailyXbanger said: “This wanted to bury his son same day he died. He thought he would inherit everything his son had. When he realized he won’t succeed. He’s been using his son’s death to achieve his greedy & selfish ambitions. He’s so evil and he doesn’t hide it.”
Meanwhile, several activist groups and independent observers called for the father to be given protection and for any testimony he provides to be taken seriously and investigated. Many commentators urged the government, police, and anti-corruption agencies to note the song as an official public statement and to respond with facts rather than social media posts.
Context and continuing questions
The controversy over Mohbad’s death has been a focal point for discussions about celebrity, power, and justice. There are outstanding public demands for forensic transparency, timely autopsy disclosures, and the prosecution of anyone implicated by credible evidence. The father's public appeal via music adds a new emotional layer to the campaign — it is both a personal lament and a strategic appeal to public sympathy and political leaders.
Legal experts say that while songs and public statements can draw attention, they do not replace formal legal processes. They recommend that Mr Aloba also file formal written complaints and meet with investigative authorities — steps that will help convert public pressure into documented case files that prosecutors can act on. Many observers expect civil society organisations to use the song as a rallying point for renewed peaceful demonstrations and petitions.
What Mr Aloba says he wants
In the song and in subsequent short interviews shared on social platforms, Mr Aloba reportedly asked for three immediate things: a full and independent forensic review, witness protection for anyone willing to speak, and direct attention from the presidency. Repeating the word ‘justice’ throughout the track, he framed his demand as not merely personal but as a precedent-setting test of the justice system’s responsiveness to high-profile and ordinary citizens alike.

Readers are encouraged to treat social media clips as part of a wider information ecosystem: they are powerful in shaping public sentiment, but independent verification through official records and statements remains essential.
Voices urging calm and a fact-based approach
Some commentators urged the public to refrain from hasty judgments about motives. They pointed out that grief and the desire to be heard can lead people — including bereaved parents — to take unconventional steps to demand attention. Others reminded audiences that online anger can quickly obscure the pursuit of credible, evidence-based outcomes. The recurring message from civil-society activists has been: channel emotion into sustained, peaceful advocacy that supports proper investigations and legal action.
