The mother of Nigerian musician Mohbad, also known as Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, has spoken up about the problems and events that caused her and her former husband to split up.

In an initial interview, Mrs. Aloba disclosed that she and Joseph were in love, and she defied her parents’ desires by getting married to him.

Despite their extreme poverty and her claim to be the breadwinner, her husband treated her badly.

Speaking about the beginning of the problems, Mohbad’s mother revealed that she had previously given Joseph her daily wages, but that day she refused, he began accusing her of various offenses, most notably infidelity.

Mohbad’s mother refuted accusations of infidelity by saying that he tossed out her bags one night because of his speculations. 
In her words:

“Joseph Aloba and I loved each other so much when we started.

Even though my parents warned me not to marry him but I didn’t listen. All the money I was making from menial jobs, I gave him everything. I used my money and sweat to send him for a one year Pastoral training under Prophet Abiara. In the marriage, he was a stubborn and wicked husband. He was always fighting me that I fell into depression. It was in abject poverty that I had the three children for him. I decided to be grinding pepper for a living so I got a shop and I started the work. The money I was making from this, I gave him daily.

One day I decided to use the money I made that day for myself (N3,500). I didn’t give him. That was the genesis of our problem. He frustrated me. The reports going around that he sent me out because I committed adultery, are false. There was a lady and her hubby who were staying next to us at that time. I was much older than her but we became friends. Her hubby was from my town. They used to come and eat at our place.

One day the wife traveled and I went to give the hubby food out of goodwill, then MOH’s dad saw me and started shouting that I was having an affair with the man. I refused to beg him because my conscience was clear. He told me to leave his house. Three pastors came to beg him but he refused. He threw my luggage out very late at night. I had to go sleep in my shop. In the morning I went to the house to check on my kids, immediately he saw me, he picked a knife and chased me. I ran for my life…”

Mohbad’s mother also stated that Joseph called one of their children, Adura, a bastard, so she didn’t find it shocking when he called his grandson, Liam, a bastard as well.

She continued by saying that although Joseph and Wumi, Mohbad’s wife, had been close in the past, they had become estranged after she refused to give him Liam’s placenta.

The mother of Mohbad went on:

“After I ran for my life, I went to my parent’s house but my dad did not let me in because he said he had warned me before. MOH’s dad did not let me have access to my children.

After a while, he allowed me to take Adura because he was a baby. Adura was always falling sick when he was with me. I reached out to the dad for hospital bills but he refused. He said Adura was a bastrd and that if he was not his blood, he would d!e before he clocked one. I am not surprised that he is now calling Liam a bastrd. He did it to his own son too. He knows Liam is MOH’s son, he just wanted to frustrate Wunmi. He was the one that prepared the praver water that Wunmi drank before she became pregnant.

When Liam was born, he warned them not to let me carry or give him a bath. He told them I was a witch. I couldn’t carry him for a very long time. He was the one that organized the pastor that named the boy. He and Wunmi used to be very close but what really caused their problem was placenta and naming ceremony money. After Liam was named, he said Moh should give him 250k so he could go back to Ikorodu and cook for people that would be visiting him but Moh refused. It became a big issue. I had to intervene and beg Moh before he sent the money to his dad.

I see all the curses Nigerians are placing on me and the innocent baby. They will go back to the sender. Moh never doubted Liam’s paternity. God will iudge Baba Mohbad because after Moh rented an apartment for me, he settled our differences and his dad was always coming to sleep over. Now he is treating me as if we are strangers. Ifayakanya will judge between us.”

A Nigerian customs official was captured on camera requesting N5,000 from a passenger as a condition for releasing his luggage.

In a video that was shared by an X user on Monday and is currently trending, the customs officer insisted that the passenger must pay N5,000 before being allowed to proceed with his belongings.

Despite the passenger’s willingness to offer only N1,000, he argued that the customs officer had not provided any service to merit the requested amount. The customs official, whose face is visible in the video, persisted, initially demanding N5,000. When the passenger explained that he didn’t have that much money, she reduced the demand to N3,000.

The passenger, however, maintained that he couldn’t afford the sum and offered N1,000 instead, which the customs officer rejected. The passenger clarified that he was transporting foodstuffs and not commercial goods, insisting that he wouldn’t give money.

The officer who didn’t hide her face was heard in the videos saying: “Give me N5,000,” but the passenger replied, “I no get.”

“Okay, bring N3,000,” the customs officer said but the passenger again said he didn’t have the money.

Then she asked: “How much do you have?”

The passenger then gave her N1000 which she rejected.

The passenger is heard saying, “I no carry market, na foodstuffs I carry. I no dey give you money.”

The passenger then turned to another passenger and said in broken English, “I give am N1,000 but she said she would not collect.”

The customs officer is then seen moving the passenger’s luggage to a corner, suggesting she was going to delay him if he refused to offer the amount demanded.

The passenger is overheard shouting, “Mama, where you dey carry the bag go now? Leave am here. Mama, stop I don’t want to be rude here.”

She replied, “Rude ke, rude na, rude. Why are you giving me N1000? You give me N1000, for what?”

Meanwhile, the Nigeria Customs Service says it has commenced an investigation into the viral video of one of its officers demanding N5000 bribe from a passenger.

In the statement released, the NCS says preliminary investigation revealed that the incident transpired at New Terminal, within the departure hall of Murtala Mohammed International Airport Lagos, and was captured on video by the involved passenger.

‘’The recording reveals an inappropriate request for ₦5000 in exchange for expeditious processing of customs procedures. We wish to confirm that the Officer implicated is indeed a member of the Nigeria Customs Service, properly assigned to the Murtala Mohammed International Airport Area Command.

The NCS strongly condemns this unprofessional conduct and is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of professionalism. A comprehensive investigation is underway to scrutinize the incident thoroughly, and appropriate actions will be taken. Such behavior is entirely inconsistent with the core values of our service, and we are resolute in maintaining a transparent and accountable customs operation.” the statement in part reads

The body added that it encourages passengers and the public to report any instances of misconduct or corruption promptly. It says that these reports are crucial in upholding the integrity of its service and ensuring that officers adhere to the highest ethical standards. The NCS is unwavering in its commitment to fostering a culture of transparency and accountability. The outcome of the investigation will be communicated to the public at the earliest opportunity.
