Mohbad: Lawyer Distances Himself from GoFundMe, Says Toxicology Test Was Done Free of Charge

Lagos, Nigeria — April 16, 2025Mr. Taiwo Odumosu, a lawyer who previously represented the family of the late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has publicly dissociated himself from a GoFundMe account created in support of the investigation into the singer’s death.

In a statement issued on Wednesday and made available to PUNCH Metro, Odumosu clarified that he had no involvement in any financial transactions related to the autopsy or toxicology analysis, stressing that the family handled all payments directly with the pathologist.

“At no point was any payment routed through me or my law office. Mr. Famuyiwa made the payment directly to the pathologist,” he stated. “I wish to state clearly that I know nothing about the GoFundMe account. I am neither in charge of nor a signatory to the account created for Mohbad’s cause.”

Odumosu also revealed a significant development—that the toxicology test on the late singer’s remains was conducted free of charge by a foreign laboratory in Europe. He urged the family to be transparent about the remaining funds in the GoFundMe account.

“At a meeting attended by both Mr. Famuyiwa and me, the pathologist disclosed that the European laboratory that conducted the toxicology test did so free of charge. Accordingly, the family should publicly disclose how the remaining funds in the GoFundMe account have been managed,” he explained.

Pathologist Praised, Defamation Decried

The lawyer expressed dismay at the spread of misinformation and what he described as targeted defamation against himself and the forensic expert who took on the case, calling it “unwarranted and damaging.”

“The pathologist showed remarkable courage by engaging with a case that many colleagues hesitated to touch, due to its sensitive and high-profile nature,” Odumosu said, defending the credibility of the forensic process.

He affirmed that the post-mortem and toxicology procedures were handled with integrity, insisting that justice would ultimately prevail—not only for Mohbad but also for those unjustly accused.

“To the best of my knowledge, the post-mortem examination was conducted with utmost professionalism. Justice will prevail, not just for Mohbad, but against all who attempt to twist the truth and defame those who stand for it,” Odumosu concluded.

Dr. Chris Okafor invokes divine retribution upon individuals blackmailing the Grace Nation church

Dr. Chris Okafor invokes divine retribution upon individuals blackmailing the Grace Nation church

… Affirming God’s omnipotence to unveil malicious schemes.

To be frank, the ability of Doris Ogala and her associates to withstand the arduous challenges set by Senior Pastor Dr. Chris Okafor of Grace Nation Global at the culmination of the Harvest of Babies 2026 conference, the church’s flagship event, continues to elude me.

It’s advisable not to offend a powerful spiritual leader like Prophet Chris Okafor to avoid potential consequences, as seen in the situation with Doris Ogala, who was rebuked by the prophet; can she rectify the situation through confession?

Insiders close to the man of God claim that despite relentless online bullying and blackmailing, the Generational Prophet remains resolute, stating that God’s power has been evident throughout the commission’s existence. The reason for this wonderful statement is found in the scriptures, “Upon this rock I shall build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail.” The more falsehoods are spread about the church and its leader, the more God elevates the church and propels him to greater heights, he asserted. He emphasized that blessings and fruitfulness are antidotes to curses, noting that God continues to bestow blessings upon the church, including miracles and the gift of children, which is one reason for the grand finale of the annual family liberation program, The Harvest of Babies.

However, the man of God issued a curse on each person speaking ill of the church, blackmailing, and uttering all sorts of falsehoods against the church, declaring that if they refused to repent within a few days, the earth would swallow them and their family members, stating that they would be of no use to themselves, their families, or society at large.

The spiritual leader cautions his followers to beware of such individuals including Doris Ogala who may taint their faith, and urges them to treat these persons as emissaries of the devil, avoiding them altogether.

Recall that the 2026 harvest of babies concluded with a remarkable birth of a miracle baby boy to a woman on the third day of the conference, accompanied by the dedication of several other miracle babies, all to the glory of God.
