The volatile search for justice in the late singer Mohbad’s case has fractured further, following an explosive public outburst from popular TikToker and activist,Papariano. His anger was directed at human rights advocate Ahmad Isah, known widely as 'Berekete', for allegedly failing to hold Mohbad’s father accountable for the substantial public donations received across Access Bank, Wema Bank, and GoFundMe accounts. Papariano, a prominent voice within the 'Justice for Mohbad' movement, accused Berekete of dashing the hopes of justice seekers after the live broadcast on Friday, where Berekete had promised to procure and scrutinise the statements of accounts for these funds, descended into what many felt was a poorly handled and inconclusive process.
Papariano swiftly took to his platform to vent his profound disappointment, calling out Ahmad Isah with highly uncomplimentary language and accusing him of abandoning the core mission of transparency. This sudden and aggressive confrontation has sent shockwaves through the community of Mohbad’s supporters, immediately causing a severe **division** among those dedicated to the cause. While many agree that the accountability of the donated funds is critical, Berekete's supporters and a faction of the activists are now demanding that Ahmad Isah pursue legal action against Papariano for character defamation and the use of 'unprinted names' during his rant. The controversy underscores the extreme pressure and high emotional stakes involved in securing closure for the late music star.
In a move to contain the damage while standing firm on his demands, Papariano subsequently issued a public apology for the abusive language used against Ahmad Isah. However, the TikToker refused to retract his core grievance, maintaining that Berekete has yet to fulfill the promise of a thorough and transparent audit of the donation accounts. The incident highlights the growing internal friction within the grassroots movement, where the collective focus on external accountability is being overshadowed by internal disputes over process and leadership.
As the quest for answers into Mohbad's death drags on, the fight for transparency regarding the public funds intended for his family and legal costs now poses a significant new challenge to the movement's unity.
