He passed away on Saturday in his hometown, Eket, Akwa Ibom State.

Bassey was part of the Green Eagles team that secured Nigeria’s first AFCON title with a 3-0 victory over Algeria at the National Stadium in Lagos on March 22, 1980. After retiring as a player, he transitioned into coaching and managed several clubs, including Calabar Rovers, Mobil Pegasus, BCC Lions, Flash Flamingoes, Akwa United, and Wikki Tourists.

Mohbad associated with evil men – Pastor Tunde Bakare


The General Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Tunde Bakare, has said popular singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad, was cut short in his prime because he associated with evil people.


Bakare said Mohbad reaped what he sowed while he was alive.


He spoke at a church event in Leicester, United Kingdom, yesterday.


Speaking on the theme, ‘Harvest,’ the clergyman 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.


“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? Moh Bad.”


About two weeks ago, the popular Nigerian singer passed on, and his death has been beclouded in deep controversy.


Following Mohbad’s death, there have been claims that yet-to-be-identified persons killed the singer.


The controversy surrounding his death led to the exhumation of his corpse after he was buried in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State.


The mystery surrounding his death had led to activists clamouring for justice for Mohbad.


Amid the clamour and exhumation of his corpse, the Lagos State Police Command had confirmed carrying out an autopsy on the singer’s corpse and investigation into his death was ongoing.
