Mohbad’s Mother and Yomi Fabiyi Clash Over Singer’s Death Claims

The grieving mother of late singer Mohbad, Abosede, clashed with Nollywood actor Yomi Fabiyi during a heated press conference on Wednesday.

Fabiyi, under his Break the Silence foundation, had organized a ‘World Press Conference’ titled “Justice for Mohbad 2025” to address lingering issues surrounding the singer’s death.

At the event, Fabiyi alleged that Mohbad’s younger brother, Adura, had demanded ₦3 million for information about the cause of the singer’s death.

However, Abosede refuted the claims in an emotional outburst, accusing Fabiyi of tarnishing her son’s image.

“Adura is not the one who messaged you about knowing the cause of Mohbad’s death,” she said.

“Adura sold his phone to Damola because he did not have money.”

“It was Damola that messaged him, and it is publicly known.”

“I confronted the boy, and he confessed and also apologized.”

She further expressed her disappointment in Fabiyi, saying, “The first time you came out publicly about your intention to help seek justice, I was happy, but later I felt you also wanted to kill Adura, my son.”

“You said he was the one who messaged you, it is publicly known he wasn’t, but you went ahead to organize a conference.”

“Do you want to tarnish his image?”

Defending her family, she added, “If Adura truly knew the cause of his brother’s death, he would have joined him.”

“If we do not know the cause, I will not mourn over my surviving children.”

In his response, Fabiyi denied any malicious intent, insisting he was only acting on the information he received.

“There is no way I would wish Adura or Mohbad any harm,” Fabiyi stated.

“If it wasn’t Adura who sent the message explaining Mohbad’s death, would you want me to keep quiet? All I am trying to say is that it was Adura’s handle that sent me the message.”

“I don’t have anything against him.”

“When I saw the message, I thought you wanted to help your brother.”

Mohbad’s death, two years ago, remains unresolved, fueling ongoing debates and controversies.
