The General Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, Sunday, questioned the meaning of the stage name of late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, professionally known as “Mohbad”.

According to the pastor, Mohbad did not know his life would be brief on earth as he was busy “drinking and smoking” and “reaped the reward of his unpleasant lifestyle while alive”.

Bakare said this while speaking at the 2nd an­niversary of The Envoy Nation, a United Kingdom-based Church.

His words: “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? Mohbad.”
