The death of Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, better known as Mohbadin September 2023 sparked protests, vigils, and a nationwide demand for justice, considering the suspicious nature of his death.
Nigerians wanted answers about the alleged bullying he suffered in his career, about the suspicious circumstances surrounding his passing, and about accountability from those in power.
After his death, he was hurriedly buried the next day in Ikorodu, and according to the late singer’s father, Joseph Aloba, he was buried quickly because of Yoruba customs.
“In Yoruba land, his corpse is not the kind to be kept when both of his parents are still alive, that land where Mohbad was buried is his only land, that is the only land I know him to have owned,” he said.
In February 2025, Mr Aloba swore to sue Wunmi even if the tests proved that Liam was Mohbad’s son.
Some members of the public joined in, amplifying the pressure, bullying Wunmi from every which way. VeryDarkMan (VDM), a controversial social media personality, known for his outspoken takes on trending social issues, has been a vocal critic of Wunmi for years.
To this day, he has continued to badger her and demand that she conducts a DNA test on her son to prove his relationship to Mohbad. His comments fueled online debates and intensified the scrutiny surrounding the late singer’s death. So much so that Wunmi herself addressed him in a public statement saying:
“Regarding the DNA test, I’ve stated repeatedly that I’m willing to cooperate when my father-in-law is ready, and my lawyers are handling it according to the law.”
