She urged Nigerians to view the recordings of Mohbad’s performance in Ikorodu because his erratic behavior was not caused by drugs.

She asked why these folks, whom the late singer had met just before his passing, were not being questioned.

She claimed that when Mohbad died, someone had donated money for him to be buried immediately.

Katimot said:

“I will not keep quiet or be shut up on why they hurriedly buried Mohbad. You are telling me to keep quiet and trying to shut me down. When he died, somebody donated money for them to bury him.

“72 hours before he died, Mohbad went to a bar to drink and eat with the same person, and the person who hosted the show in Ikorodu, did the person reach out to Mohbad’s widow? Please, Nigerians should go back to the video of Mohbad on stage and study his behaviour, he was not under the influence of drugs.

“Mohbad was sceptical about the show, he was reluctant but said he had to go because he had been paid. I will keep asking why was Mohbad buried. Mothers should rise up and fight for justice, you can’t shut me down, before the show he was at the bar, why is nobody talking about the people he was with? Mohbad’s death is very deep but I know he will fight back.”
