Adura, the younger brother of the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad, has been taken into custody by the Nigeria Police at the Magistrates’ Court in Ogba, Lagos.
He was arrested alongside his friend, Ibrahim Koleosho, popularly called King White, shortly after attending a court session over a phone transaction with one Damola Ayinde.
Reason Behind the Arrest
Earlier, Mohbad’s mother, Abosede, had a heated confrontation with actor Yomi Fabiyi during a press briefing in January, following accusations against Adura.
Fabiyi had previously filed a petition in December 2024, alleging that Adura engaged in an Instagram chat where he claimed to have video evidence of Mohbad’s death.
According to Fabiyi, the chat involved Adura demanding ₦3 million in Bitcoin in exchange for the footage. However, Adura refuted the claim, stating that Ayinde, who bought his phone, was responsible for the messages. A forensic analysis has since been conducted, and the court is still reviewing the case.
Mother’s Emotional Plea
Reacting to the arrest, Mohbad’s mother appeared in a viral video crying for help. She accused Fabiyi and another individual, Sam Jojo, of being behind her son’s sudden detention.
In Yoruba, she pleaded, “Please, Nigerians, help me. Yomi Fabiyi and Sam Jojo have taken my son away. I don’t know where they are taking him. He is unwell, and they must not harm him.”
Ongoing Legal Battle
Back in December, Adura had demanded a public apology from Fabiyi, Ayinde, and others, accusing them of hacking his TikTok account to ruin his reputation.
He also filed a ₦1 billion lawsuit for defamation, evidence tampering, and false accusations.
A family member, speaking anonymously, confirmed that while Adura’s location remains unknown, his friend Koleosho was arrested immediately after the court session.
“We haven’t been able to trace Adura, but we know that his friend Koleosho was taken by security operatives. There was a confrontation between Koleosho and Fabiyi regarding the phone issue, which might have led to the arrest,” the source disclosed.
Police Confirmation
A police insider revealed that the arrest was carried out by operatives from Zone 2 Police Command, Onikan, and not the Lagos State Police Command.
However, attempts to get further details from the Zone 2 spokesperson, Ayuba Umma, were unsuccessful at the time of reporting.
