Omowunmi Aloba
Omowunmi Aloba, the widow of late Nigerian music star Mohbad, has revealed that she learned about her husband’s burial on the internet.
Mohbad, who passed away on September 12, 2023, was buried less than 24 hours later in Ikorodu, Lagos State, without Omowunmi being informed beforehand.
In an emotional statement, Omowunmi shared that it took the intervention of family and friends to prevent her father-in-law from burying Mohbad the same night he died.
She recounted, “A lot of people begged my father-in-law not to bury my late husband’s body that night but he insisted. In fact, even the day they wanted to bury him, he didn’t inform me. I got to know online.”
Omowunmi also alleged that her father-in-law and another woman tried to kidnap her son, Liam, on the day of Mohbad’s burial. “It still feels like my husband is still alive. He is in Yaba morgue. He has not been buried. So sad. He has been ‘pieced’ twice,” she said.
Mohbad’s body was exhumed on September 21 for an autopsy due to the controversies surrounding his death. While the autopsy results are still pending, Joseph Aloba, Mohbad’s father, has stated that the singer’s body will only be reburied once the controversies surrounding his death are resolved.
