The family of late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa “Mohbad” Aloba has renewed its call for a thorough and transparent investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death. The family also instructed the singer’s widow, Wunmi, to stop using the Aloba surname pending the outcome of a court-ordered DNA test to confirm her son’s paternity.
In a statement jointly signed by family head Omolayo Aloba and Joseph Aloba, the late singer’s father, the family stressed its unwavering demand for an independent and comprehensive investigation to uncover the truth behind Mohbad’s death.
Aloba Family Names Legal and Estate Representatives
The family announced Oladayo Ogungbe, Esq. as the sole legal representative handling all estate and DNA-related matters. Meanwhile, Dr. Wahab Shittu, SAN will continue representing the family in dealings with investigative authorities.
Additionally, three administrators—Ajewole Aloba, Rasaq Famuyiwa, and Alonge Aloba—have been appointed to oversee Mohbad’s assets. A fourth position has been reserved for Wunmi, but only if the DNA test confirms that her son, Liam, is indeed Mohbad’s biological child.
Directive to Wunmi: Stop Using Aloba Surname
The family further instructed Wunmi to stop using the Aloba surname in any public or private capacity until legal confirmation of paternity is obtained. The statement also clarified that no statutory or customary marriage existed between Mohbad and Wunmi Adebanjo during his lifetime.
According to the family, if the DNA result confirms that Liam is Mohbad’s son, both Wunmi and the child will be fully recognized in the administration of the late singer’s estate.
Mohbad’s Death Still Unresolved
Mohbad died on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27. More than a year after his passing, the late singer is still yet to be buried as his family continues to push for justice, clarity, and accountability regarding the events that led to his untimely death.
