Mohbad's Death: Omowunmi, Late Singer's Wife, Cries Out Over Alleged Threats

Late Ilerioluwa ‘Mohbad’ Aloba and his family

The late Nigerian Afrobeats singer Mohbad's widow has expressed her outrage at what she saw as ongoing threats to her life and the life of her son Liam.

She urgently requested that the late musician's father, Joseph Aloba, obtain a court order authorizing her son Liam to undergo a Deoxyribonucleic Acid Identification (DNA) test.

According to MON DIARIES, Mohbad's unexpected death in September 2023 prompted debates and public demonstrations, which prompted the Lagos State government to exhume his body and hold a coroner's inquest.

The singer's widow opened out about her experiences and the things the late Mohbad went through before he passed away in a string of Instagram posts.

Omowunmi wrote: “Nigerians, I and Liam are at your mercy! Are you going to allow what happened to Ilerioluwa to happen to us? They are threatening us daily. They have taken our freedom from us! Nigerians help us.”

The single mother expressed her incredulity at Mr. Aloba, Liam's grandfather, who she claimed coerced them into becoming parents, also requesting a DNA test for the same child.

However when her father-in-law provides a court order to that effect, she revealed that she was prepared for the DNA test.

“Go and get court order cos it's time I put my enemies to shame,” Omowunmi wrote in a tweet.

Joseph Aloba, the father of Mohbad, had wanted a test to determine his grandson's paternity as well as that Omomunmi be contacted by the Nigeria Police to offer explanations for his son's death.

Concurrently, Omowunmi said in an Instagram Live that her son was not having the necessary independence like other children and that some individuals were threatening to shoot her directly.

She said: “As you all know, I have never done this, and this is because my husband, Ilerioluwa, never wanted this. I am not scared to die! Enough is enough! Nigerians, please come to my aid! They have cursed my son several times, and today, they have started. They have said my son will not reach the age of one, the same thing done to Mohbad that his father could not come out on social media to ask the public to help.

“Nigerians, please help me! I'm doing this now because Ilerioluwa will never forgive me if I don't fight for Liam. He thought keeping quiet was the answer until he died. He had no chance to fight, but I, Wunmi, will fight with my last blood if anyone comes for my son.

“You guys are threatening to gun me down at the inquest, threatening to kidnap me and my son, yet I have kept quiet. I can't even go out in public for fear of my life. My son can't enjoy the things other kids are enjoying because of you guys! Why? You're taking my son's right of freedom from him, but today I'm calling Nigerians to please come to my aid. Even if they eventually kill me, please let Liam son's right away from him! I am calling Nigerians to please come to my aid, I am too young for these things they're putting me through, Nigerians, is it until I die?

“This is the same thing Mohbad went through, but nobody helped. Please, Nigerians, help me. When my husband came out, he was never a substance dealer. Now, they are using DNA to keep me shut. Mohbad was never a substance dealer or a user, and that pulled down his self-esteem and made him afraid to show his vulnerability, I would not be ashamed. Abuse me all you want just like you abused Mohbad but I'm never going to keep shut for Liam, don't come for Liam because I will fight for him with all my life, I will protect him because he's all I have and I'm the only parent he has, Mohbad is not here to fight for him anymore.”

She added, “Please tell baba to bring court order for a DNA to be done. He is not getting the court order because he's happy that my son is getting bashed daily. This is my son that I carried for 10 months, all mothers please come to my aid, everybody is telling me to keep shut but I can't do that anymore, even if they will kill me let Liam live please, that is the only person Ilerioluwa left please! Baba is not getting the court order because he's happy Liam is being bashed, Liam is like a competitor, and he sees him as a threat. He's happy that he's using his son's death to make money online.”
