The general overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Tunde Bakare, has said that the late singer Mohbad “reaped the reward of his unpleasant lifestyle while alive”.

Mohbad died on September 12 and was buried the following.

The circumstance surrounding his death has continued to stir up controversies on social media.

Speaking at the 2nd anniversary of The Envoy, a UK-based church, on Sunday, Bakare said the late singer “associated with evil people while he was alive”

Bakare argued that the 27-year-old artiste engaged in an “unpleasant lifestyle” and failed to realise “that he would soon be cut down at the prime of youth”.

During the summit titled ‘Harvest’, the clergyman also rhetorically asked the congregation “if Mohbad is a good name”.

“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,” he asked.

“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.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned Ademola Banu, a former commissioner for finance in Kwara, over alleged money laundering and misappropriation of state funds to the tune of N1.22 billion.

Banu was arraigned on Monday before Evelyn Anyadike, judge of the federal high court in Ilorin, Kwara state capital.

He is alleged to have conspired to divert the funds during the administration of Abdulfatah Ahmed, former governor of Kwara, between May 2011 and May 2019, while serving as the commissioner for finance.

In a press statement on Tuesday, Dele Oyewale, EFCC spokesperson, said Banu was to be arraigned alongside the former governor on February 23 but was absent in court and had no legal representation.

The court then issued a bench warrant against him upon an application by Rotimi Jacobs, counsel to the EFCC.

The former governor was arraigned on the 12-count charge and the matter was adjourned till April 29.

At the resumed sitting, Ahmed and Banu, listed as the first and second defendants, respectively, were present in court.

When the case was called, A. A. Ajibade announced the appearance for Ahmed, while Gboyega Oyewole represented Banu.

Oyewole prayed the court to discharge the bench warrant earlier issued against his client, which the EFCC counsel did not oppose.

In a short ruling, Anyadike vacated the bench warrant on the second defendant.

Banu pleaded not guilty to the counts.
