Pastor Tunde Bakare said Mohbad’s Name affected his life

Pastor Tunde Bakare, the General Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, shared his thoughts on the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad. Pastor Bakare expressed concerns about Mohbad’s choices in life.

During his speech, Bakare mentioned that Mohbad had associated with what he referred to as “evil people” and had indulged in drinking and smoking. He further commented that Mohbad had unfortunately faced the consequences of his lifestyle choices during his short time on Earth.

Pastor Bakare questioned Mohbad’s life choices and even raised doubts about whether “Mohbad” was a suitable name. He referred to a tape he and his wife had listened to, discussing the artist’s life choices and his untimely demise at the age of 27.

He said; “My wife and I listened to a tape last night on MohBad. How many of you know Mohbad? The Nigerian artiste who died at 27? Mohbad,” Bakare asked.

“When he was drinking and smoking and associating with evil men, he did not know that the harvest would come so soon and that he would soon be cut down at the prime of youth.

“I am not blaming him, I am just telling you. Is Mohbad a good name?

The Nigerian music industry mourned the loss of Mohbad, who passed away on September 12. He was laid to rest in Lagos’ Ikorodu area the following day. However, questions surrounding the circumstances of his death continue to circulate on social media.

The Lagos State Police Command has taken steps to investigate Mohbad’s death, including exhuming his body for an autopsy. Additionally, recent protests in Lagos, Delta, Ogun, and other parts of Nigeria have called for justice in the case of the late singer.

This reflection by Pastor Tunde Bakare highlights the importance of lifestyle choices and their potential consequences, sparking discussions in both the religious and public spheres.
