Ayobami Sodiq otherwise known as Spending who is close friend of the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba aka Mohbad, has made clarifications on the circumstances surrounding his last encounter with the deceased.

Spending who made this known on his social media account said that he last saw Mohbad alive between 11 am and 12 pm, contrary to his earlier claim of 9 pm. He attributed this to the emotional trauma he developed from Mohbad’s sudden passing.

He said, “I would like to make clarification on the Last time I saw him alive was between 11am and 12 pm. I recall that sometime in February 2024, shortly after I was released from detention I appeared at Westo’s livestream on his TikTok platform to appreciate everyone who donated money towards my release which was the plan. However, Westo asked me when the last time I saw Mohbad was before his demise, and I said i saw him last at 9 PM on Monday after we got back from the show.

“The timing I gave is not accurate. I had suffered emotionally dealing with anxiety and psychological, mental and physical trauma from Mohbad’s unexpected passing away who I so miss. I was wrongfully accused of being present in Mohbad’s house on the day he passed away and being detained at the police station. I wasn’t in the right frame of mind when Westo asked the question.”

Spending who apologised for any confusion caused, stating that he never intended to deceive or conceal information, he also maintained that he left Mohbad’s house between 3 pm and 4 pm on September 11, 2023, consistent with his testimony at the coroner’s inquest.

“I never intended to deceive, conceal nor lie about when last I saw Mohbad and for that, I tender my apology for the misinformation. The last time I saw Mohbad alive was between 11-12pm. I left his house between 3 PM -4 PM on Monday, 11th of September 2023 which is consistent with the time I gave in my testimony at the Corona Inquest.”

He also denied having a conversation on the circumstances leading to Mohbad’s death with any social media influencer, adding that proof of existing audio recordings and text messages on the alleged conversation were untrue.
