Nigerian clergyman, Pastor Tunde Bakare’s statement about the death of Mohbad has stirred lots of reactions.

While preaching in in Leicester, United Kingdom at a church event on Sunday, the clergyman made reference to the death of singer Mohbad, stating that he reaped the reward of his actions while alive.

He stated that his stage name ‘Mohbad’ which means ‘I am bad’, greatly affected him, and the friends he associated with worsened things as they contributed to his untimely demise.

Although he hammered on the fact that the late singer reaped the reward of his actions he stated that he was not blaming the singer for his death.

In his words,“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? Moh Bad”.

Lots of social media users have expressed their disappointment at the clergyman’s statement.
