In a detailed post on his social media accounts on Monday, he clarified that he last saw Mohbad alive between 11 am and 12 pm, correcting his earlier statement that indicated 9 pm. He explained that the emotional distress and anxiety stemming from Mohbad's unexpected death contributed to this inconsistency.
Sodiq also stated that he was wrongly accused of being at Mohbad's residence on the day of his death, which led to his detention at a police station. He noted that this experience significantly impacted his mental well-being, resulting in the discrepancies in his previous remarks.
He wrote, “I would like to make a clarification on the last time I saw him alive was between 11 am and 12 pm. I recall that sometime in February 2024, shortly after I was released from detention, I appeared at Westo’s livestream on his TikTok platform to appreciate everyone who donated money towards my release which was the plan. However, Westo asked me the last time I saw Mohbad before his demise, and I said I saw him last at 9 PM on Monday after we got back from the show.
“The timing I gave is not accurate. I had suffered emotionally, dealing with anxiety and psychological, mental and physical trauma from Mohbad’s unexpected passing away, who I so miss. I was wrongfully accused of being present in Mohbad’s house on the day he passed away and being detained at the police station. I wasn’t in the right frame of mind when Westo asked the question.”
Sodiq expressed regret for any misunderstanding that may have arisen and affirmed that he departed from Mohbad’s residence between 3 PM and 4 PM on September 11, 2023.
He stated that this timeline aligns with his account given during the coroner’s inquest.
“I never intended to deceive, conceal nor lie about when last I saw Mohbad and for that, I tender my apology for the misinformation. The last time I saw Mohbad alive was between 11 and 12pm. I left his house between 3 PM -4 PM on Monday, 11th of September 2023 which is consistent with the time I gave in my testimony at the Corona Inquest.”
He also refuted claims of discussing the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death with any social media influencer during his time in custody at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, with the exception of one individual named Westo and his assistant.
He further stated that the purported evidence of audio recordings and text messages related to the alleged conversation is false.
Emphasizing his demand for justice, he expressed, “Mohbad’s untimely passing is still painful, and I am still trying to recover from the trauma. I pray that Mohbad gets the justice he deserves, and I urge his killers to be brought to book.”
