Abosede, the mother of the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad, has said that her son never told her anything bad about his wife, Olawunmi.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, Abosede stated that her late son never complained about his wife to her. She explained, “My son never said anything negative about her to me. I grew closer to my son in the months leading up to his death, and he never said anything unpleasant about her to me.”
She further stated that Mohbad never told her that he suspected Wunmi of cheating on him.
The late singer’s mother also revealed that many people were bullying Olawunmi because of the perception of her that Mohbad’s father had formed in public. She said, “The reason people are castigating her is because of how Mohbad’s dad has portrayed her to the public, making people feel like she has a hand in her husband’s death. But that is not so.
“The voice recording of an argument between Mohbad and Wunmi) that was posted the day my son died was recorded by Wunmi herself.
“When I asked her why she did that, she said her intention was to play it to him (Mohbad) afterwards, because he always denied speaking to her in that manner.
“My son became paranoid after he was hit with a gun on his head by an officer of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, and he was also given something to drink.
“It was someone close to them who sent the recording to a blogger. And I actually warned both Wunmi and my son against those people, but they did not heed my warnings.
“A lot of things happened after the NDLEA saga. I barely rested because I was going from one place to another.”
Abosede also indicated that, in her own way, she had been assisting Wunmi in dealing with her emotional turmoil. She said, “I don’t let her go through some of the things that are being said in the media because of the toxicity. She only checks the ones that have good energy, not the negative ones.”
In response to the suggestion that Wunmi was fighting over the late singer’s properties, Abosede replied, “I feel that Mohbad’s father wants to be in charge of everything my son left behind as the head of the family.
“He has forgotten that there are laws. The fact that my son’s lawyer did not accede to his request is why he is coming for them.
“He probably thinks that if he lies against them to the public, Wunmi will get tired and leave everything, and the lawyer will also get frustrated.”
