Why Mohbad’s father hates me,  late  singer’s wife, Omowunmi reveals 

 

Omowunmi Aloba, wife of late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad, has revealed why she became estranged from her father-in-law.

She explained that Mohbad’s father believed that she was driving a wedge between him and Mohbad, which led to their strained relationship.

Testifying before the Lagos coroner inquest on Tuesday, Omowunmi revealed that her relationship with her father-in-law, Oladimeji Aloba, deteriorated after the birth of her son, Liam.

She told the coroner, Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi, that Mohbad’s father became upset with her because Mohbad decided not to hold Liam’s naming ceremony in Ikorodu.

She said, “I used to have a very good relationship with my father-in-law before the birth of my son, Liam. In fact, I used to invite him to our house on many occasions.

“But because Mohbad was angry with him over some of the things he was doing and his refusal to hold our son’s naming ceremony in Ikorodu, he became angry with me, thinking I was the one behind it all.

“So he became my enemy and was not talking to me like before.”

Mohbad’s wife also said she has been getting death threat.

The widow, who is testifying in the inquest being conducted at the Lagos State Magistrate Court sitting in Ikorodu, said that she started getting death threats after the death of her husband.

She said, “I received death threats every day, including on social media. A lot of people are slandering me on ‘TikTok’.

“I left my husband’s house because I am not safe there”, she said.

Mohbad’s wife further testified that Mohbad died in his room on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, in the afternoon.

She said before his death, he had said he was not feeling fine, so he asked that they switch on the air conditioner in his room, but it was not working, so they moved him to the son’s room.

Omowunmi stated that she was in the kitchen while this was happening and that when she came back into the room she saw a Nurse injecting Mohbad with a syringe and heard Mohbad telling the nurse to remove the needle.

She further told the coroner that it was at that point that they had to rush him to the hospital.

According to her, he was in the car’s back seat when the driver said his hands were already cold.

“Immediately, I called a bike (Motorcycle); OG, his friend, and Mohbad got on the bike, and then I took another bike and went straight to the hospital.

“It was the doctor, nurses, the Disc Jockey, and Mohbad’s brother who were inside the room while I was outside when they told me that he was dead. I said it was not possible because I still spoke to him 20 minutes ago and he said after his injection he would take his son for a five month photo shoot,” he said.

In her deposition, admitted by the coroner, she said her late husband was meant to go to the hospital to treat the injury sustained during his brush with Prime Boy but that due to his previous experience with NDLEA operatives and fear of Azeez Adeshina Fashola a.k.a(Naira Marley), he did not go.

She said NDLEA operatives hit him on the head with the butt of their gun.

Further proceedings have been fixed for November 15.
