Femi Adebayo and Toyin Abraham have reacted to the death of Nigerian music sensation, Ilerioluwa Aloba, widely known as Mohbad.
The duo, who are top Nollywood actors reacted to Mohbad’s demise in separate messages on social media.
Recall that the artiste died last Tuesday and was buried on Wednesday at Ikorodu, Lagos, amid controversies surrounding his death.
Paying their tributes on X, formerly known as Twitter, the actors said Mohbad lived up to his name ‘Imole’ by shining brightly briefly before his demise.
According to Adebayo’s post, he said “In memory of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba Mohbad, a star whose musical brilliance graced the world.
“Though your life was tragically cut short, your music remains a testament to your resilience and artistry. “Imole,” meaning “Light” in Yoruba, was your name, and you lived up to it by illuminating the lives of many.
“Rest in power, Imole.”
Similarly, actress Abraham said she was astonished by Mohbad’s humility during his brief stay on earth.
“I was in denial, I couldn’t come to terms or use ‘was’ for you Imole. I really want to wake up from the dream. I can’t forget the memories on the set of my movie Ghost and the Tout and how you showed a level of humility that is lacking in some of your peers.
“Just as your name, Your light shone so brightly I can’t really believe it’s gone. You touched not only my heart but everyone that came in contact with you.
“Your death has opened a lot of shocking, complex, and unbelievable underlying stories that sound so hard to let go.
“The necessary government parastatals need to do their job. Though we can’t have you back but total justice for you may start the healing process.”
