The petition was written by Oba Saheed Elegushi who alleged that during one of Mr. Aloba\u2019s interviews with a London-based blogger, he was criminally defamed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring the interview Mr. Aloba granted the London-based blogger, it was alleged that he said, \u2018&#8230; his son was bullied and killed on the instruction of Oba Elegushi and that it was one Sam Larry that was sent to do the job&#8230;\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn fairness to Oba Elegushi, he only demanded the retraction of the defaming statements made by Mr Aloba on social media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Aloba was never arrested or detained. He was granted bail without stress. It is important to note that Mr. Aloba is still grieving the death of his son. He just lost a single star in the family firmament.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny grieving parent may on the spur of the moment make statements that may tend to be unreasonable. We only need to understand the geographical circumstances giving rise to his utterances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The death of Mohbad on September 12, 2023, had sparked controversies following claims that he was bullied and killed by those around him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
