My father-in-law is trying to ruin my life, Mohbad’s widow cries out

Wunmi, the widow of late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad, has accused her father-in-law, Joseph of trying to take control of her late husband’s properties while making degrading comments about their son, Liam.

Wunmi also revealed that she receives daily death threats and no longer feels safe.

In an emotional interview with Chude Jideonwo, on Wednesday, Wunmi spoke out about the ongoing battle over Mohbad’s estate, the controversy surrounding their son’s paternity, and the fear that now defines her life.

“My father-in-law wanted to be in control of my husband’s properties, and he would literally go all out to destroy my life.

“He has been chastising Liam so much. He says my son has bow legs and that no one in their family has such. He even said that Liam’s face is older than his, and he is almost 60,” she claimed.

She further alleged that her father-in-law accused Mohbad of wanting to throw their son into the lagoon.

“He went as far as saying that Mohbad wanted to throw our son into the lagoon under the Third Mainland Bridge,” she revealed.

Since Mohbad’s sudden death in September 2023, Wunmi has been at the centre of a heated dispute with the late singer’s family.

Her father-in-law has repeatedly insisted on a DNA test to confirm Liam’s paternity, a request that has fueled more controversy.

Wunmi who said she heard about the request for her son’s DNA said, “I have been making it clear that I’m ready to do the DNA test, but he was saying that once I do it, I shouldn’t make the results known to the public.”

Beyond the property battle and paternity dispute, Wunmi says her safety is at risk.

“My son and I no longer feel safe. I receive threats on my social media handles every day, and it has reached a point where I either speak up or suffer in silence.

“I have been attacked by Naira Marley, his cohorts, his supporters, and my father-in-law,” she added

Mohbad’s father recently claimed that he became suspicious about Liam’s paternity when two of Mohbad’s friends revealed during the coroner’s inquest that the child was a source of dispute between the late singer and Wunmi.

He also said Wunmi never gave him or Mohbad access to Liam’s placenta.

Despite the controversy, Wunmi insists she only wants justice for her late husband and the safety of her son.

Speaking on her marriage with the late singer, Wunmi said her father-in-law initiated the marriage and was the happiest about it.

She, however, wondered how he could claim she wasn’t married to the late singer.
