According to Pastor Bakare, Mohbad had associated with individuals he described as "evil" during his lifetime, engaging in behaviors such as drinking and smoking. Tragically, Mohbad's life was cut short at the age of 27, and he faced the consequences of his lifestyle choices.

Pastor Bakare shared these thoughts while delivering a sermon at the 2nd anniversary celebration of The Envoy Nation, a church based in the United Kingdom, on Sunday.

The Nigerian music industry mourned the loss of Mohbad, who passed away on September 12. He was laid to rest the following day in Lagos' Ikorodu area. However, the circumstances surrounding his death have sparked controversy on social media.

During his sermon, Pastor Bakare raised questions about the life Mohbad had lived and asked the congregation whether the name "Mohbad" represented a virtuous or reputable identity.

He shared his observations, stating, "My wife and I listened to a tape last night on MohBad. How many of you know Mohbad? The Nigerian artiste who died at 27? Mohbad. When he was drinking and smoking and associating with evil men, he did not know that the harvest would come so soon and that he would soon be cut down at the prime of youth. I am not blaming him, I am just telling you. Is Mohbad a good name? Mohbad."

In response to Mohbad's untimely death, the Lagos State Police Command exhumed his remains and conducted an autopsy to investigate the cause of his passing. Protests demanding justice for the late singer were also held in various parts of Nigeria, including Lagos, Delta, and Ogun.
