Mohbad’s dad asks police to probe wife of late singer

Joseph Aloba, the father of Mohbad, has called on the police to summon Omowunmi, his son’s wife, for questioning to unravel the cause of the singer’s death.

Mohbad died under mysterious circumstances on September 12. He was buried the following day.

On September 21, the body of the music star was exhumed by the police for autopsy.

Omowunmi recently said she knows a lot about the singer’s death but is being “bullied to silence”.

In a statement issued through his legal team, Aloba urged the police to invite Wunmi for questioning, adding that her “testimony could be instrumental”.

“It has come to our attention that Omowunmi Adebanjo, the wife of the late Mohbad, has expressed her knowledge of critical information related to his death,” the statement reads.

“We urge the relevant authorities to extend an invitation to Omowunmi Adebanjo to provide her testimony and insights into this tragic event. We believe that her cooperation and testimony could be instrumental in shedding light on the circumstances leading to Mohbad’s demise.

“We implore you (the police) to prioritise this investigation and take swift action to uncover the truth behind Mohbad’s death. The Aloba family and the public deserve closure, and justice must prevail.”

In the statement, Aloba also requested for a DNA test to be carried out on Liam, Mohbad’s son.

He added that he wants to save the child from “embarrassment” and avoid anyone using “any bad name” on him in the future.

“Since the issue of Liam Aloba’s paternity is in the public domain, especially on social media, this information will continue to be there for now and maybe forever,” he said.

“As a grandfather to Liam Aloba, I owe the duty of protecting him now, and the future is at stake if the issue of paternity is not resolved now, and it will hurt her and the son in the future. Anyone can call him any bad name which I will not want that to happen to him now or in the nearest future.

“Wunmi Adebanjo, as a mother to Liam Aloba too, it is my thinking and belief that you will not like a situation where, in the future, people will use or call Liam Aloba any unpleasant name. Since she wants a court order to do the DNA, my legal team has approached the court in that regard, the suit has been filed.

“Her legal team should do the needful whenever the court serves them by not frustrating the process so that Liam Aloba, whether he is my grandson or not, deserves the right to a good life without any blemish to his name and his existence on earth. If this is the only thing you can do to save him from future embarrassment, please do it for him as a mother; let him have a peaceful life to live.”
