Mr Joseph Aloba has called on the Nigeria Police to summon the widow of his late son, Omomunmi, to reveal all that she knows about the death of his music artiste son, Ilerioluwa Aloba popularly known as Mohbad.

Mohbad’s father made this call in a press statement signed by the family on Wednesday.

Recall that Mohbad died on September 12, 2023, and the issues about his demise have turned out to be controversial.

The police investigated his death but the public seemed not to be contented with the findings as those suspected to be behind his death were still walking on the streets.

Recently, the late singer’s wife claimed she knew so much about the death, claiming he was bullied but the bullies in the music industry would not let her talk.

Also, Aloba filed a suit recently seeking to call more witnesses in the bid to unravel the cause of the death of his son.

In the application signed by his legal representatives, Aloba mentioned Ayobami Fisayo aka Spending; Boluwatife Adeyemo aka Darosha and Ibrahim Owodunni aka Prime Boy to testify as witnesses in court.

Moreover, in the latest statement by the Aloba family, Mohbad’s father said Omowunmi’s testimony could also be crucial in shedding more light on the circumstances leading to the death.

The statement read in part, “It has come to our attention that Omomunmi Adebanjo, the wife of the late Mohbad, has expressed her knowledge of critical information related to his death.

“We urge the relevant authorities to extend an invitation to Omowunmi Adebanjo to provide her testimony and insights into this tragic event. We believe that her cooperation and testimony could be instrumental in shedding light on the circumstances leading to Mohbad’s demise.

“We implore you (the police) to prioritise this investigation and take swift action to uncover the truth behind Mohbad’s death. The Aloba family and the public deserve closure, and justice must prevail,’ the statement added.

Referring to another sitting at the coroner inquest coming up in a few days, the man said, “the opportunity is still there for you to go and tell them the truth you know.”

Regarding his grandson, Mohbad’s father said, “Since the issue of Liam Aloba’s paternity is in the public domain, especially on social media, this information will continue to be there for now and maybe forever.

“As a grandfather to Liam Aloba, I owe the duty of protecting him now, and the future is at stake if the issue of paternity is not resolved now, and it will hurt her and the son in the future. Anyone can call him any bad name which I will not want that to happen to him now or in the nearest future.

“Wunmi Adebanjo, as a mother to Liam Aloba too, it is my thinking and belief that you will not like a situation where, in the future, people will use or call Liam Aloba any unpleasant name.

‘Since she wants a court order to do the DNA, my legal team has approached the court in that regard, the suit has been filed.

“Her legal team should do the needful whenever the court serves them by not frustrating the process so that Liam Aloba, whether he is my grandson or not, deserves the right to a good life without any blemish to his name and his existence on earth.

“If this is the only thing you can do to save him from future embarrassment, please do it for him as a mother; let him have a peaceful life to live.”

Speaking about the paternity of her son, recently, Mohbad’s wife said, “The DNA issue has brought tears to my eyes and pain to my heart. There has never been any doubt or discussion about Liam’s paternity until my husband’s demise.”
