The widow of late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba (Mohbad), Wunmi Aloba, has accused her father-in-law’s lawyer, Ayodele Famuyiwa, of issuing threats against her and her two-year-old son, Liam.
Since Mohbad’s tragic passing on 12 September 2023, Wunmi has faced intense public scrutiny and allegations from her father-in-law, Joseph Aloba, who has continuously demanded a DNA test before proceeding with his son’s burial.
Threat Allegations Against Famuyiwa
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Wunmi alleged that Mr. Famuyiwa, a U.S.-based legal representative of her father-in-law, openly threatened her son’s life during a TikTok live session, with Joseph Aloba reportedly present during the broadcast.
“Ayodele Famuyiwa has threatened to take Liam out of the way. He is my father-in-law’s power of attorney. Anyone who knows the authorities I can tag in the United States should text me. He threatened to harm us tonight on his TikTok show, and my father-in-law was on that live, listening.”
Wunmi also claimed to have saved multiple threatening videos and accused Famuyiwa of attempting to prevent Liam from inheriting Mohbad’s royalties.
“You are on a TikTok platform openly threatening to harm me and my child. You have repeatedly sworn that over your dead body would Liam inherit his father’s royalties.”
As of the time of this report, Mr. Famuyiwa has not responded publicly to these accusations.
DNA Dispute and Mohbad’s Delayed Burial
The paternity dispute surrounding Mohbad’s son has further delayed the late singer’s burial, with Joseph Aloba insisting that a DNA test must be conducted before laying his son to rest.
I- On Thursday, Mr. Aloba reaffirmed his stance, threatening legal action against Wunmi if she refused to comply.
II- Wunmi, however, maintains that she has been ready for the DNA test since 2023 but accuses her father-in-law of deliberately stalling Mohbad’s burial.
“Nigerians, please help me beg my father-in-law to do the DNA test, if not for anything but for the sake of Mohbad. I’ve been ready since 2023. Liam doesn’t deserve to go through this.”
She further alleged that her father-in-law had been bribed and that the same “tactics used against Mohbad” were now being used against her.
“My husband deserves to rest. There’s no genuine reason why he is still at the morgue.”
Public Reaction and Legal Implications
Wunmi’s revelations have reignited public outcry, with many demanding an end to the prolonged family dispute and a dignified burial for Mohbad.
However, with threat allegations and the ongoing paternity debate, the situation remains tense—raising legal and security concerns for Wunmi and her son.
- Will Joseph Aloba agree to the DNA test and proceed with Mohbad’s burial?
- Will Wunmi pursue legal action over the alleged threats?
The coming days may determine the next course of action in this ongoing controversy.
