A Canada-based show promoter, Prince George, says popular Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, well known as Mohbad, died the day his Canadian visa was approved.
Mohbad died last Tuesday at the age of 27 and was buried the next day.
The singer’s remains were later exhumed by the Lagos State Police Command for autopsy following the circumstances surrounding his demise.
However, George, while speaking at the candlelight procession organised by Nigerians in Toronto, Canada on Saturday night, disclosed that had planned to surprise the late singer’s best friend, Bella Shmurda, during the latter’s show in Canada by bringing Mohbad to the show.

“I sent a message to Mohbad’s manager in the morning of the day he died to inform him that his Canadian visa had been approved, only to be told that Mohbad had died mysteriously,” the show promoter added.
Also speaking at the candlelight procession, Bella Shurmda said he was still in shock about the death of his friend.
The musician said: “This person is my brother, my guy, my best friend, you know? It’s so sad.
“This is someone I saw before I left Nigeria, only to be called two, three days later that he had died. Everything was so funny. Even my mum had to call and tell me not to come home.”
