Joseph Aloba, the grieving father of the late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, better known as Mohbad, sent shockwaves through the online community when he narrowly escaped a deadly brush with a speeding vehicle.
Mr. Aloba, who is not only known as the father of the late music star but also revered as a cleric, appeared utterly unaware of the looming danger as he made his way home, draped in his signature white garment attire.
According to reports, the day had already been heavy with the weight of the recent court proceedings related to his late son’s ongoing case, and the burden seemed to take its toll on him.
The video captures him in a state of deep distraction, possibly lost in thought. As he attempted to cross the expressway, Mr. Aloba glanced only to his left, taking a step forward without a second thought.
What he didn’t notice was the impending doom hurtling toward him from the right—a speeding vehicle.
In a stroke of providence, a passerby noticed the imminent danger and let out a scream that shattered the tense silence, snapping Mr. Aloba back to reality. In a heartbeat, he withdrew his steps, his body still shaking with confusion.
His bewildered expression, as he stumbled backward, betrayed the turmoil of a man caught in a storm of despair and simmering frustration.
