Omowunmi Aloba, widow of late Nigerian singer Mohbad, has revealed that her strained relationship with her father-in-law, Baba Mohbad, stems from deep-rooted family tensions that predate her husband’s tragic death in September 2023. In a recent interview with Channels Television, Wunmi disclosed that the conflict centers on her son Liam’s paternity, with Baba Mohbad reportedly demanding a negative DNA test result — a request she insists she cannot fulfill. She emphasized that the family rift began long before Mohbad’s passing, tracing its roots to emotional and financial disputes within the family.
Wunmi stated that she and Baba Mohbad were once close, but their relationship deteriorated after the birth of Liam. She alleged that the elder man became unhappy when Mohbad reconciled with his mother, a development that reportedly triggered the family crisis. She also pointed out that many people mistakenly believe the feud began after Mohbad’s death, but she insists the tensions had been simmering for years. The core issue, according to her, revolves around Mohbad’s properties and royalties, which she believes her father-in-law is now trying to claim.
When asked if she seeks reconciliation, Wunmi said she initially tried to understand what she might have done wrong. However, she concluded that the disagreement is fundamentally about inheritance and control over her late husband’s assets. She expressed concern that Baba Mohbad is exploiting her youth and vulnerable position, leveraging his status as a father figure to pressure her. She stressed that the DNA test is not something she can manipulate or deny, as it is a biological fact.
The interview has sparked widespread debate across social media platforms, with Nigerians divided on the matter. Some users, like @Allure_scent, urged Wunmi to undergo the DNA test for the sake of peace, while others, such as @_dreamchaxer, questioned why she hasn’t done so already. Others, including @Ekenewhite, criticized Baba Mohbad for what they see as a selfish attempt to claim property under the guise of paternity doubts. The controversy has intensified public scrutiny of family dynamics in the wake of celebrity deaths and the legal and emotional complexities surrounding inheritance.
As the public continues to weigh in, the case underscores the fragile nature of family relationships when fame, fortune, and legacy are at stake. The outcome of this dispute may have lasting implications not only for Wunmi and Liam but also for how similar cases are handled in Nigerian society.
