According to a report by the Independent, Pastor Bakare made these remarks during a sermon delivered at a church event in Leicester, United Kingdom on Sunday, September 24. He further asserted that the deceased, MohBad, had been involved with individuals of a morally questionable nature during his lifetime.
During his discussion on the topic of 'Harvest', Bakare, who served as the running mate of Muhammadu Buhari in the 2011 presidential election, made the following statement:
My wife and I listened to a tape last night on MohBad. How many of you know MohBad? The Nigerian artiste who di£d 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." Bakare was quoted as saying by the Independent.
I am not blaming him, I am just telling you. Is MohBad a good name? Moh Bad.
There was a young man older than I am. He was a driver and his nickname was Èsù (devil). Everywhere he went, people hailed him as Èsù and he would acknowledge them.
The day he cr@shed the car and he k#lled people and they thr£w him behind jail when he was brought out, he said ‘Méè Sèsù Méè Sèsù (I am not the devil),” Bakare said.
