Father of the late Afrobeats sensation Mohbad, Joseph Aloba has once again confronted his daughter-in-law, Wunmi, urging her to disclose every detail she knows about the untimely demise of the renowned singer.
The family, already embroiled in a bitter dispute over reburial, unclaimed royalties, and paternity allegations, now faces a new twist as the coroner’s inquest into Mohbad’s death prolongs the release of autopsy results.
Despite 170 days passing since Mohbad’s death and subsequent burial in Ikorodu, Lagos State, Mr. Aloba insists on obtaining the autopsy results before proceeding with his son’s reburial.
Wunmi, in a series of Instagram posts, claims to possess crucial information about Mohbad’s passing but alleges interference and bullying preventing her from speaking out.
Responding to Wunmi’s social media revelations, Mr. Aloba penned an open letter accusing her of seeking public sympathy and employing emotional blackmail.
“It is shameful, a disgrace and an embarrassment for you, a wife, to continually seek public sympathy and use emotional blackmail on me as a father, the entire family of Aloba, and the well-meaning public on the case of my son, whom to date no one knows what or who took his life at his prime.
“I want to ask you, if you were in my son’s shoes, would your family not ask him questions? Who are the ‘they’ that want to silence you about telling me what happened to the son I suffered to raise when no one was there? Even if we have our differences, is the death of my son worth it? A whole family and you are playing games with.
“You have had the opportunity at the coroner inquest to say everything you know, and I am saying, who and what stops you from saying what you know to your father-in-law and the well-meaning public?”
He challenged her to publicly disclose the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death, stating, “Until you tell me who and what killed my son, no one is safe with you.”
Dismissing claims that he demanded a DNA test for Mohbad’s son, Liam, Mr. Aloba asserted that Wunmi suggested it.
He urged her to share everything she knows about Mohbad’s death during the ongoing coroner’s inquest, warning her to cease accusing him on social media.
The saga continues as the public awaits Wunmi’s response and the eventual resolution of the disputes surrounding Mohbad’s death, shedding light on a family torn apart by grief and controversy.
