Adura Aloba, brother of the late singer Mohbad, has refuted allegations made by actor Yomi Fabiyi, accusing him of knowing the cause of his brother’s death and demanding money to share evidence.

Mohbad died under controversial circumstances on September 12, 2023.

During a recent press conference, Yomi alleged that Adura contacted him via Instagram, claiming to have evidence—specifically, a video—showing Mohbad’s wife, Wunmi, allegedly pushing the singer down the stairs during an altercation. The actor further alleged that Adura demanded N3 million to release the video.

In his , Adura denied the allegations, clarifying that he did not create the video in question. He claimed the footage was recorded by Mohbad himself and stored on a phone Adura later sold to someone named Damola.

He said, “Firstly, I do not have much to say. This thing is in court already. So I do not need to say much. I cannot know about my brother’s death and keep quiet all these days. I am now so surprised. This video we are talking about is like three years ago. And I was not the one that did the video, it was Moh himself on the phone I sold to Damola. And the video was on that phone.

“I was the one who chatted Mr Yomi. And I had tried to make him understand. (Facing Fabiyi) You were invited and they told you who was chatting with you. And you insisted on the TikTok live. I saw everything on the TikTok live.

“Mohbad did the video and it was on his phone for more than three years ago… When I sold the phone to Damola, about a week later, I started seeing his messages with Mr Yomi.”

Adura also accused Yomi of twisting the narrative to tarnish his reputation. “Mr Yomi is trying to tarnish my name that I did it,” he stated.
