Omowunmi Aloba, wife of deceased singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, known by his stage name as Mohbad or Imole, has told a coroner’s court that she had a healthy relationship with her father-in-law, Oladimeji Aloba.
Speaking at the coroner’s inquest on Tuesday, Omowunmi said her relationship with Oladimeji Aloba went awry shortly after she gave birth to her son, Liam.
Omowunmi testified during the inquest into the d3ath of her husband in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State.
Mohbad d!ed on September12, aged 27, and was buried the following day.
His d3ath has generated controversies across the world, prompting the Lagos State Government to order a coroner’s inquest into it.
The inquest, which began on October 13, is taking place at Ikorodu Magistrates’ Court.
The wife of the late singer told the Coroner, Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi, that Mohbad’s father became angry with her because the late singer declined holding Liam’s naming ceremony in Ikorodu.
Omowunmi said Mohbad’s father accused her of being behind the late singer’s decision to go against his wish to hold the ceremony in the town.
She added that her father in-law also brought different women to her matrimonial home on several occasions and that her own mother caught him on one of the occasions.
Omowunmi said Mohbad, who was always away from home, got to know about it and told his father to desist from bringing women to his home.
She said Mohbad’s father resented her and became hostile towards her because he thought she was driving a wedge between him and his son.
She said: “I used to have a very good relationship with my father-in-law before the birth of my son, Liam.
“In fact, I used to invite him to our house on many occasions.
“But because Mohbad was angry with him over some of the things he was doing and his (Mohbad) refusal to hold our son’s naming ceremony in Ikorodu, he became angry with me, thinking I was the one behind all.
“So he became my enemy and was not talking to me like before.”
Omowunmi also said her husband was humiliated, harassed and bullied many times by his friends and members of Malian Records, his record label, before his death.
