The traditional ruler of Ikate Elegushi Kingdom of Lagos State, South-West Nigeria, His Royal Majesty, Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi has sent a petition to the Nigeria Police against three social media influencers who are said to have been allegedly using the TikTok app to spread false information about the monarch.
The social media personalities include Abosede Comfort Ilesanmi, a Nigerian who resides in Germany and Olubukola Jesse popularly known as Bukky Jesse who lives in the United Kingdom. They were said to have claimed that Oba Elegushi is the biological father of the late Nigerian rapper, Ilerioluwa Aloba Mohbad’s son.
Oba Saheed Elegushi in a statement issued on Tuesday, April 9, 2024 by his media consultant Lambert and Curtis and signed by Deyemi Saka dissociated him from the ongoing paternity saga between the late rapper’s wife, Wunmi and her father-in-law; describing the social media influencers speculations as false.

The statement reads: “We are the media consultant to the Elegushi Royal Family and we will like to respond to a new desperate attempt at dragging His Royal Majesty, Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi to the needless paternity dispute over the son of Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as “Mohbad”.
“The widely syndicated falsehood was promoted by some persons with the under-listed profile on the social media app TikTok namely: Oloriebimusicproduction2; PEKINS RULES, and WESTO4LIVE.
“Secondly, HRM Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi through his lawyers have filed a petition against these persons with the Nigeria Police and other relevant security agencies in a bid to enforce his fundamental human rights and protect him from cyber bullies while he is hopeful the Nigeria Police will collaborate with relevant international security organisations in this quest for redress.
