Father of the late afro-pop Mohbad, Mr. Joseph Aloba, has cried out that he has not authorized any person or group aside from his legal team to represent him either in court or elsewhere.
He said this in a message he sent to his lawyers after an individual paraded himself on TikTok, claiming to be acting on behalf of Mr. Aloba for an NGO.
In a statement, his legal team noted that “our attention has been drawn to a certain individual on the social media platform, particularly TikTok, who is parading himself to be working for a group on behalf of our client, Mr. Joseph Aloba.
“It is our client’s instruction that he has not engaged anyone, a law firm, or an NGO to represent him either in court or any other place in matters relating to seeking justice on behalf of his late son, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (Mohbad), other than his current legal team, which has been properly briefed on all matters relating to procuring justice on behalf of his late son.
Mr. Aloba said anyone or group who wants to take any action about the Mohbad matter must seek the consent and approval of his legal team, whom he said have been doing the legal work diligently and to his satisfaction.
The statement reads: “Mr. Joseph Aloba has not given anyone or a group his consent to represent him.
The statement further illustrates that they are not unaware of the subterranean moves being made by those who want to scuttle the process of justice in this matter.
“The legal team is therefore desirous of ensuring that spoilers are not allowed to destroy the blocks of justice being built for this case.
“Please, we urge the public to ignore anyone or group that claims to be acting on behalf of Mr. Joseph Aloba without our approval.”
