The tragic aftermath of Nigerian singer Mohbad’s death has taken a darker turn as his widow, Omowunmi, breaks her silence about the harrowing challenges she faces, including death threats and a bitter property dispute with her father-in-law. In an emotional interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Omowunmi painted a disturbing picture of her life since losing her husband, Ilerioluwa Aloba, professionally known as Mohbad.
Speaking through tears, Omowunmi revealed the stark contrast between her father-in-law’s demeanor at her wedding and his current attitude, describing how he has transformed from being “the happiest” person at their nuptials to someone she claims is now actively working to “destroy” her life. At the heart of this transformation, she alleges, lies a contentious battle over control of Mohbad’s property.
The situation has escalated to alarming levels, with Omowunmi disclosing that she regularly receives death threats in her direct messages, creating an atmosphere of fear and insecurity for herself and her young son. Perhaps most disturbingly, she recounted a shocking claim allegedly made by her father-in-law, suggesting that Mohbad had intentions to throw their baby into the Third Mainland Bridge – an accusation that has deeply wounded the grieving widow.
For the very first time, Mohbad’s wife Omowunmi Aloba is granting an interview.

The property dispute has become entangled with another controversial issue: the question of her son’s paternity. Legal documents reveal that in April of last year, a Chief Magistrate Court in Ikorodu granted an order regarding the service of a DNA test application notice to Omowunmi. After two failed attempts to serve her directly, the court ordered that the notice be posted at her last known address.
The paternity controversy has taken several turns, with Omowunmi’s legal team recently accusing Mohbad’s father of avoiding the very DNA test he had publicly demanded. Her lawyers have called for an apology, condemning what they describe as a campaign of defamation against both Omowunmi and her son, Liam, who they argue is being wrongfully portrayed as illegitimate.
The DNA test saga has become a point of public discourse, with various personalities, including artist Cynthia Morgan, weighing in on the matter. Initially, Omowunmi had indicated her willingness to proceed with the test if properly ordered by the court. However, she later reversed her position, asserting that no one had the right to demand such a test and expressing determination to protect her son from experiencing the same victimization she believes his father endured.
In her raw and vulnerable interview, Omowunmi also shared her spiritual struggle with her husband’s death, questioning divine justice in taking him away. This personal grief has been compounded by the public scrutiny and family conflict that have followed Mohbad’s passing, creating a complex web of emotional and legal challenges for the young widow.
The situation highlights the often-complicated aftermath of a celebrity’s death, where grief becomes intertwined with disputes over legacy and inheritance. It also raises questions about the protection of widows and children in such high-profile cases, particularly when family dynamics become strained by financial interests.
As this story continues to unfold, the focus remains on the welfare of Mohbad’s young son and the resolution of these family disputes. The public nature of these conflicts adds another layer of complexity to what is already a deeply personal tragedy, leaving many observers hoping for a peaceful resolution that honors Mohbad’s memory while protecting the interests of his wife and child.
