According to a X account with the username @Khalid_oel, the former President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, was said to have wrote a supporting reply to one of the account’s posts, about the late Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as MohBad’s death.
The account wrote that the 44th president of the US from 2009 to 2017, replied to his post while supporting the campaign for MohBad’s death, calling for justice.
The account posted an image of hands holding each other with a content written: “for a country to progress it needs justice.”
Beneath the image was a reply of Barack Obama X account, saying “and that’s what is affecting African countries Khalid. #Justice4Mohbad.”
The post by the X user was a repost which stated “Barack Obama wants justice for mohbad… Omoh former president of America replied me 🤯 massive me. 😭”
However, PIJAlance through a reverse search, found that Barack Obama made no such reply.
Since August 28 to September 18, Barack Obama X profile only made one reply and which was on The Obama Foundation post two days ago.
A community note powered by X to counter such deceptive and fake post through rating also noted underneath that the post is not genuine.
It added that Barack Obama never said or made such reply under the X post of the profile.
Verdict:
The post claiming former President of US is in support of the campaign calling justice for Mohbad is false.
Worthy of note, MohBad was a Nigerian fast-rising artist who breath his last on last Tuesday. He was a previous signee of Azeez Fashola, also known as Naira Marley’s Malian Music Label.
In 2022, MohBad had a feud with the label which made him terminated the contract he had earlier signed in 2019 with the label.
The termination of the contract was followed with alleged bullies, harassments, assaults, sabotaging of musical properties worth of millions and threats to life of MohBad by Sam Larry, a music producer and also Naira Marley’s pal.
MohBad was because of this reportedly said to have publicly announced that if he dies, the world should hold Marlian Music, Naira Marley and Sam Larry responsible.
Shortly after the video, MohBad met with his demise.
However, based on the words of MohBad, netizens and celebrities have started calling for the arrest of Naira Marley and Sam Larry. And though, the IGP and the Lagos Police Command had directed an immediate investigation into the case, no arrest has been made, hitherto.
