Renowned Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh, has penned an open letter addressed to Mr. Joseph Aloba, the father of the late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad.

In the heartfelt message shared on her Instagram page, Tonto Dikeh expressed her disappointment with Mr. Joseph, alleging that he prioritizes financial gains over the memory of his late son and the family he left behind. She claimed that he has been charging fees ranging from N10,000 to N15,000 for interviews, despite the substantial amount of money already donated to support his grandson under the care of his daughter-in-law, Wunmi.

Tonto Dikeh clarified that she does not oppose the DNA test that Mr. Joseph is requesting to establish the paternity of his son. However, she finds it disheartening that he has not directly approached his daughter-in-law with this request, instead choosing to seek public assistance. In conclusion, the 38-year-old actress appealed to Mr. Joseph to honor his deceased son, who passed away in contentious circumstances on Tuesday, September 12.

“MESSAGE TO MOHBAD’S DAD

Mohbad, from the depth of my heart, I extend a profound apology. You deserve so much more, and it pains me to witness your struggles, with steadfast support coming from compassionate souls like “THE CONCERNED CITIZENS.”
It’s a promise we will keep fighting regardless of names called & heart broken.

Papa Mohbad, I can empathize with the harsh realities of poor condition, but when it involves your own flesh and blood, your son, it’s truly heartbreaking. How is it that material things or wealth seems to outweigh the love for your own child?

The hurried and undignified burial of our dear Mohbad within a mere 24 hours of his supposed passing, compounded by insufficient arrangements due to financial constraints after getting a whooping sum of 2million Naria is deeply distressing considering his status.
Need I remind you of the shameless, senseless and inhumane way moh’s neck was broken?

The decision to exhume your son’s remains stemmed from a collective outcry of Nigerian youth– which is a testament to our shared concern. While we acknowledged that Mohbad is indeed your son, please note, he was a married man, and the responsibility should extend to his wife regardless of any circumstances.

In your quest for global assistance and DNA verification, it’s crucial to address the right of that woman personally, the one who holds the answers.

By the way I totally agree with a DNA, but why are you asking Nigerians for a DNA and not Wunmi?

Your immersion in social media, driven by trivialities and fleeting fame, is disheartening. I find solace in the knowledge that you are not a part of my family, sparing us the pain of witnessing your disregard for your son’s memory.

It’s bewildering that your discontent only surfaced upon witnessing contributions to your grandson in custody of his mother “Your late son’s wife”, BUT YOU NOW CHARGE 10k/15K to be interviewed🤦🏼‍♀️
Papa Mohbad, how does one fail their own flesh and blood not once, but twice?

My heart aches for the pain you are causing and the deep wounds left unhealed.

But I’ll leave you with this words, DO RIGHT BY YOUR SON.”
