Mohbad’s wife, uncle bicker over alleged threat to life

Omowunmi, wife of late music star, Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad, has raised the alarm over an alleged threat from the late singer’s uncle, Ayodele Famuyiwa.

This is as Famuyiwa denied the allegations, describing them as false and an attempt to misrepresent his stance.

Omowunmi had in an Instagram post seen by PUNCH Metro, on Saturday, accused Famuyiwa of bullying and threatening her and her son, Liam, for over 15 months.

She claimed that he had made public threats against her on social media and was determined to prevent her son from inheriting Mohbad’s royalties.

She wrote, “Ayodele Famuyiwa, my father-in-law’s Power of Attorney and spokesperson, for over 15 months, you have bullied me. You have dragged my name through the mud. You have spoken the most awful things about me. You have cursed my son. You have threatened me. And now, you are on a TikTok platform openly threatening to harm me and my child.”

Omowunmi further alleged that Famuyiwa had sworn that Liam would never inherit his father’s royalties while calling on the public to hold him accountable should anything happen to her or her son.

Meanwhile, Famuyiwa in a statement seen by PUNCH Metro on Sunday, maintained that he had never threatened Omowunmi or her son.

He claimed to have only advised her to stop spreading claims that Mohbad’s father was fighting over his late son’s assets.

The statement read, “As an uncle to Mohbad, I want to categorically state that I have never bullied you or your son, as you have falsely claimed. What I have consistently said is that you should stop spreading the narrative that your father-in-law is fighting you and your son over Mohbad’s property.

“If a DNA test confirms that the child is Mohbad’s, then, he is entitled to 100 per cent of his father’s property.”

However, if the DNA result proves otherwise, that does not automatically erase the child’s connection to Mohbad, but such matters will be addressed at the right time.”

Famuyiwa also accused Omowunmi of falsely claiming in a media interview that he was a sick man seeking financial support and attempting to rely on Mohbad’s wealth.

Mohbad died at the age of 27, on September 12, 2023, with circumstances surrounding his death sparking controversies on social media.

Being a former record label signee of Marlian Music owned by Naira Marley, Mohbad left the label in February 2022. The Lagos State Police Command had on September 18, 2023, inaugurated a 13-man special investigation team to probe the singer’s death.

The singer’s body was exhumed on September 21, 2023, for autopsy to unravel the cause of his death.

The result of the autopsy was however declared inconclusive.
