Promise Aloba, mother of late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba aka MohBad, has accused Joseph Aloba, her husband and Mohbad’s dad, of fighting their daughter in-law Wunmi.
The bereaved mother said the alleged discord between Wunmi and Joseph was due to the ownership of the late singer’s properties.
Mohbad, a fast-rising singer, passed away on September 12, 2023. His death sparked social media discussions, including speculations about the paternity of Liam, his son.
In October 2023, Joseph testified before a coroner’s court, claiming that the late singer had expressed concerns about his wife’s fidelity to another signee at Marlian Records.
Wunmi agreed to the DNA test but requested it be conducted at three separate hospitals. She also asked Mohbad’s family to cover the costs associated with the tests, including a trip to the United States.
Promise had claimed in a recent media interview that Wunmi and Joseph were once friendly, and that trouble resulted after Liam’s christening because Joseph wanted it at his place but she did not support it.
The bereaved mother also alleged that the tension between Joseph and Wunmi is because of Mohbad’s properties.
“Omowunmi and Joseph were friends, and it was pointless to fight any of them. What made Mohbad’s father upset started during Liam’s christening. He said they should have the ceremony in his house. But, I insisted that it should take place in Mohbad’s house.
“The major reason Joseph is having issues with Mohbad’s wife is because of my late son’s money and properties,” Promise alleged.
Wunmi recently said she knows a lot about the singer’s death and that she was being bullied into remaining silent.
In February, Joseph asked police to summon Wunmi for questioning to unravel the cause of the singer’s death. He also renewed his call for a DNA test on Liam, stating that he wants to save the child from future embarrassment.
