Mohbad’s cousin opens up on allegations of breaking singer’s neck

The late Nigerian musician Mohbad‘s cousin has come forward to reveal the reason for the singer’s neck being twisted inside his coffin.

His cousin Darosha Losobeh opposes breaking the deceased’s neck.

A widely circulated video purportedly showed Losobeh breaking Mohbad’s neck to make room for him in the coffin when he was buried.

Darosha requested that people stop falsely accusing him of breaking Mohbad’s neck in reaction to the charges.

The late singer’s cousin and personal assistant wept on his Instagram page, claiming the accusation was negatively affecting his mental state.

He explained breaking Mohbad’s neck to put him into the casket, saying that since the morgue where they went to deposit his body was already full, they were left with no choice but to bury him in that manner.

He further added that they were told to pay for an ambulance and a casket so they could keep Mohbad till the next day.

Darosha claimed to have paid for the coffin and ambulance on his own and that he was unaware that the coffin was too tiny to contain Mohbad’s remains.

He wrote:

“I’m so down to the extent that I had to write this to clear this whole story about me going online that I bent my love’s neck; this is the craziest and saddest thing that ever happened to me in my whole life. That I broke my brother’s neck, seriously, this hurt me so much.

“What happened about the neck was that when we got to Ikorodu, we were told there was no space to keep his body at the mortuary, and we didn’t want him buried that night. So, a worker there advised the family to pay for an ambulance and a coffin where we could keep him until morning, and the same ambulance would drive him down to the place of burial.

The whole family agreed to the idea because the ambulance that took us to Ikorodu was complaining that they had to leave the same night back to the island. It was only his mum that was not present there that midnight.”
