Investigative journalist Kemi Olunloyo, a controversial figure in the industry, has criticized Nollywood actresses Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh for talking openly about the costs associated with the late musician Mohbad's dea;th.
Tonto Dikeh revealed that the cost of keeping Mohbad's body in the mortuary was twelve million naira, which is less than the original fourteen million.
Sharing this news on her Instagram page, Kemi Olunloyo attempted to refute the assertions made by Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh. She contended that the amount given by the actresses was exaggerated and that the Lagos State government should be held accountable for Mohbad because they did the autopsy.
In addition, Kemi Olunloyo criticized them for allegedly trying to draw attention to the singer's passing and advised them to bury Mohbad right away.
She wrote, "Tonto Dikeh has revealed that they have spent 12 million already just to keep Mohbad in the morgue. She said it was supposed to be 14 million but they gave them a discount. Must everything concerning preparation for his burial be transactional?
In the United States, where I spent 32 years and attended many funerals of young and old, people bury corpses within 7 days because of daily mortuary fees, which average $100/day (N100K) for storage and refrigeration. Funeral homes have a daily charge for storing a body, even if it is embalmed. Has the body arrived at Ebony vaults? If so, he should be buried. Let him rest in peace. Is it still with the LASG? Why are you paying the morgue fees and not the state who asked for his exhumation?
Nigerians like to bury elderly people in a month to prepare a large party and gather all the descendants abroad. Families like that have money for mortuary fees, Aso ebi, and the works.
The autopsy is done according to the police, and they are waiting two weeks for the toxicology tests. That 2 weeks is this week. Sam Larry has been grilled, and the police will be addressing the press as they told us on Friday. Now the holiday weekend is over, and we may hear from the police today.
Thank you, Tonto and Iyabo, for taking up the funeral expenses, but keep it under wraps. You did it for God. Announcing the breakdown of the expenses shows you're doing it for CLOUT."
