Mr. Joseph Ayoba, the grieving father of the late artiste Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Ayoba, widely known as Mohbad, has opened up about a disturbing dream he had just two days before the tragic demise of his son. The ‘Ko Por Ke’ singer passed away on Tuesday and was laid to rest in Ikorodu amidst an outpouring of sorrow from family, friends, and fans.
In an emotional interview with online blogger @og_baba1 on Wednesday, Mr. Ayoba shared insights into his special bond with his late son, describing it as more of a friendship than a typical father-son relationship. He also recounted their final moments together, recalling a visit he paid to Mohbad’s residence the previous Saturday, during which they shared a meal.
“Mohbad is my friend. I called him Oladimeji (meaning my second) because I’m the only son of my parents. We were close,” Mr. Ayoba shared. “The last day we met, which was last Saturday, I went there (Mohbad’s house), and we dined together. When I was leaving, he also gave me some money like he always did.”
However, the interview took a poignant turn when Mr. Ayoba revealed a harrowing dream he had experienced just two days before his son’s passing. “I had a dream about him two days before the incident. In the dream, I saw someone trying to shoot me. I thought I escaped the bullet, not knowing something like this would happen to me.”
Regarding the circumstances of his son’s death, Mr. Ayoba mentioned information he had heard from others, though he expressed skepticism. “According to what I heard from people, though I don’t believe, was that an auxiliary nurse administered him an injection, and that could have led to anything.”
Since Mohbad’s tragic passing, tributes have been pouring in from colleagues and fans on various social media platforms, highlighting the profound impact the young artist had on the music industry and the hearts of his listeners.
