Nigerian music executive, Samklef, has taken to social media to share an update on the crowdfunding effort for the 5-month-old son of late Nigerian singer, Mohbad.
Recall that the talented singer suddenly passed away on Tuesday, September 12, under strange and controversial circumstances.
Following his death, it was discovered that he was married to his longtime partner, Wunmi, with whom he shares a son, Liam.
Well-meaning Nigerians decided to pool resources together to raise money to support the late singer’s child, as he is no longer alive to provide for him.
Giving an update on the donations, Samklef took to Twitter to disclose that they have raised the whopping sum of N32,744,900 so far.
He tweeted,
“So far we have raised! N32,744,900 so far for mohbad son! God bless everyone contributing there is the deputy governor of Lagos state @drobafemihamzat paying last respects for imole!mohbad”

A video circulating on social media shows the elderly man recounting the incident that transpired the day the 27-year-old died under strange circumstances.
According to him, Mohbad’s father contacted him that night, and shovels and other digging equipment were brought to dig his grave. However, he claimed that he stopped them from burying the singer at night.
Mohbad was eventually laid to rest the following day, September 13.
This revelation comes amid the controversy surrounding the singer’s death and why he was quickly buried when he was not a Muslim.
