‘I am the most bullied widow in Nigeria’ – Wunmi

Wunmi Aloba, the widow of late Nigerian music star Mohbad, has spoken out against what she describes as relentless bullying.

She claims her father-in-law, Joseph Aloba, is turning the public against her by insisting on a DNA test for her son, Liam.

Speaking on TVC’s Your View, Omowunmi expressed her frustration. She made it clear that she has no issue with a paternity test but disapproves of how Joseph Aloba is handling the situation.

“I have nothing to hide. I don’t have a problem with my father-in-law asking for a DNA test. But it’s the way he’s going about it. Right now, I am the most bullied widow in Nigeria,” she said.

Family ties turn sour

Before Mohbad’s death, Omowunmi said she shared a close relationship with her father-in-law. She described him as a supportive figure in her life. However, their bond quickly soured after the singer’s passing.

She revealed that Joseph Aloba had strongly encouraged her and Mohbad to have a child, even when they weren’t ready. According to her, he influenced them through religious fasting and prayers. She now finds it ironic that the same person who once pushed for Liam’s birth is now questioning his paternity.

Mohbad’s death and controversy

The sudden death of Mohbad on September 12, 2023, sent shockwaves through the Nigerian music industry. Less than 24 hours after his passing, his father arranged for his burial in Ikorodu, Lagos State.

However, the circumstances surrounding the singer’s death raised suspicions. On September 21, authorities exhumed Mohbad’s body for an autopsy, aiming to determine the cause of death. The results have yet to be released.

Demands for DNA test and delayed reburial

Joseph Aloba has remained firm in his demand for a DNA test to confirm Liam’s paternity. He has also stated that Mohbad will not be reburied until the autopsy results are made public and the paternity test is conducted.

Many Nigerians have taken sides in the ongoing dispute. Some support Omowunmi, arguing that she has suffered enough. Others back Joseph Aloba, insisting that the DNA test is necessary to clear any doubts.

The emotional toll on Omowunmi

Omowunmi has described the experience as overwhelming. She said she has endured public scrutiny, cyberbullying, and emotional distress since Mohbad’s passing.

Despite the pressure, she remains firm in her position. She insists she has nothing to hide and will not be intimidated by public opinion or her father-in-law’s actions.

“I lost my husband, and now I have to fight to protect my son,” she said.

The controversy surrounding Mohbad’s death continues to grow. With the autopsy results still pending and tensions within the family rising, the case remains one of Nigeria’s most talked-about celebrity tragedies.

Many Nigerians are now waiting for answers—both about Mohbad’s cause of death and the paternity of his son. Until then, Omowunmi remains at the center of a painful and highly publicized battle.
