Omowunmi Aloba, wife of deceased singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad and Imole, on Tuesday told a coroner’s court that why she didn’t take her late husband to the hospital early.
Wunmi who has been urged by some Nigerians to run a DNA test on her baby, Liam, was in court with Mohbad’s parents and hers in attendance.
According to her, Mohbad has a phobia for hospitals and this must have emanated from his experience with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
She said, “The reason why we didn’t take Mohbad to the hospital early was because he had a phobia for hospitals ever since the NDLEA issue happened that they gave him water and he landed at the hospital.
“He was so scared of the hospital to the extent that when my delivery date was due, he was persuading me to deliver at home all because he didn’t want to enter the hospital. When Mohbad started vomiting and becoming weak and I screamed for help, someone offered to drive us to the hospital. As we were on our way to the hospital.
It was me, Mohbad, Mohbad’s camera man and one other guy who were in the vehicle with the driver. We sat at the back with Mohbad making efforts to save his life.
Then, the driver stretched his hand to the back and held Mohbad’s hand. Then he told us that the hand was very cold. By then we had entered into traffic. We had to stop a bike man. One of the guys was with Mohbad on the bike while I took another bike and was following them. We got to the hospital and rushed him in.
The doctor and nurses attended to him immediately. After about 15 minutes, the doctor came out and told us Mohbad was dead. I was like, ‘what do you mean by dead? Is that how people die? Someone that was still gisting with me some hours ago. What could have killed him? I didn’t believe the doctor. By then, I had already called Mohbad’s cousin who was in Ajah to come over. He got to the hospital after 20 minutes. Then we rushed Mohbad to another hospital and the doctor said he was brought in dead.”
