Ilerioluwa Aloba, better known as Mohbad, was a late Nigerian singer. According to the late Singer's mother, Mrs. Promise Aloba, Mohbad expressed concern about her being kidnapped when he was alive.

She admitted that she refused to live in the Ikorodu neighborhood of Lagos State, where Mohbad had rented an apartment and planned to open a business for her, out of fear of being kidnapped.

However, Mrs. Aloba spoke to several journalists in the singer's home and said: "I don't tell people that I'm Mohbad's mother because he was afraid I will be kidnapped.

"He took me away from Iyana to Ikorodu and promised to set up a business for me. However, I can't stay in Ikorodu again; I asked that they should rent out the shop because I'm afraid.

"My child never enjoyed himself; he was always afraid whenever I came to visit; he found it difficult to sleep as he would be breathing heavily. They usually go to the police station to report.

"I spent 10 days in his house without knowing he would die, I just left here on Saturday, not knowing he would die on Monday. He was begging me not to leave, but he allowed me when I told him to go to church. He and his wife were deceiving me not to leave. He has not given me my feeding allowance because he never wanted me to leave."
