Omowunmi Aloba, the widow of the late Nigerian music star Mohbad, has disclosed that she found out about her husband’s burial on the Internet.

Mohbad, whose real name was Ilerioluwa Aloba, passed away on September 12, 2023. Less than 24 hours after his tragic death, his father, Joseph Aloba, buried him in Ikorodu, Lagos State.


Omowunmi revealed that she was not informed about the burial arrangements and only discovered it online. According to her, it was through the intervention of family and friends that her father-in-law was prevented from burying the singer on the night of his death.

“There’s a nurse involved in this case. He [Mohbad] reacted to an injection. The night my husband died, my father-in-law came to the house, and the nurse narrated everything that happened to him. My husband’s manager wanted to get the nurse arrested, but my father-in-law asked us to let the nurse go,” Omowunmi stated.

She further claimed that despite multiple pleas from people, her father-in-law insisted on burying Mohbad immediately. “Even the day they wanted to bury him, he didn’t inform me. I got to know online,” she added.

Omowunmi also alleged that on the day of her husband’s burial, her father-in-law, along with a certain woman, attempted to kidnap her son, Liam.

She expressed her sorrow, saying, “It still feels like my husband is alive. He is in Yaba morgue. He has not been buried. So sad. He has been ‘pieced’ twice.”

Mohbad’s body was exhumed on September 21 for an autopsy following widespread controversy surrounding his death. While the autopsy results remain pending, Joseph Aloba has stated that the singer’s body will not be reburied until all controversies surrounding his demise are resolved.
