Joseph Aloba, Mohbad’s father, has revealed the story of how his late son, Ilerioluwa Aloba, met his wife, Wunmi, at Naira Marley’s Marlian Music label.
According to Mr. Aloba, Mohbad and Wunmi had known each other since their early days in Oke-Iletu, Ikorodu, Lagos, but they reconnected at Naira Marley’s label. However, there was no romantic relationship between them before their reconnection.
Wunmi is said to have given birth to Liam, son of the deceased.
Clarifying this through the song “Komajensun” which Mohbad sang in 2020, Aloba spoke of a lyric, “Naira lo gbe omo fun mi, I’m not a womanizer”, in the song referencing how Mohbad reconnected with Wunmi at Marlian record.
“He (Mohbad) met the lady (Wunmi) there (at Marlian Music) but they had known each other from Oke-Iletu, even though the lady was a student then,” Aloba disclosed to this reporter.
The Lagos State Police Command has commenced an investigation to unravel the circumstances leading to the artiste’s death.
Meanwhile, the Coroner’s inquest into the death of Mohbad has fixed October 13, 2023, for witnesses to appear before it.
Attorney Funmi Falana, who represented Mohbad’s family, alongside other lawyers, had closed-door proceedings to discuss the modalities for hearing of evidence.
Speaking to the journalist after the proceedings, Falana said, “What we did today was to decide how and when the procedures would help get justice. The date has been fixed and will be bringing our witnesses.”
