Joseph Ayoba, Mohbad’s father, has voiced concerns about his safety, claiming that he is afraid for his life due to alleged threats from the singer’s widow, Wunmi, and her lawyer, Femi Falana.
In an interview with Max 102 FM radio station, Ayoba expressed his dissatisfaction with the delayed release of his late son’s autopsy report. He went on to accuse Falana and Wunmi of issuing threats against him, leading to his current state of fear.
“I need justice for my son and I want people to support me. This delay of autopsy report and other things can result to denial. I don’t trust anyone right now. Even with the threats Falana and his client used to threaten me, I’m unable to sleep. I need help. And I want people to support me because the autopsy is going to be done [at a] private facility.”
He further alleged that he feared Wunmi might orchestrate a plot to harm him and accused her of making explicit threats. Ayoba also implicated Falana, asserting that the renowned lawyer collaborated with Wunmi, creating obstacles to impede assistance and engaging in various other allegations.
“Another thing is that I don’t know where to live now because of the threats. Yesterday, when I heard a knock on my gate, I was scared that it may be the people Wunmi said they want to come and kill me. And Falana is still on her side,” he alleged.
He continued, “She called me, threatening me when I was on the mountain with a strange line. She said she can kill me, and I recorded the call. Falana is aware of this. Upon all that, he is still standing by her side. He is even preventing people from helping me. People that are saying the truth, he wants to silence them. He wants to manipulate because of money. And we are from the same Ekiti State.”
Since the demise of Nigerian singer Mohbad on September 12, 2023, a dispute has unfolded between his father and widow, Wunmi, concerning the artist’s assets. Ayoba has consistently pressed for a paternity test on their son, Liam. Amidst the ongoing conflict, Wunmi secured legal representation from Femi Falana.
