Mohbad’s Family Renews Call for Probe, Bars His Widow from Using ‘Aloba’ Pending DNA Test. The family of the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has renewed its call for a transparent and independent probe into his d+ath while directing his wife, Wunmi, to stop using the family surname pending the result of a court-ordered DNA test. In a statement signed by family head Omolayo Aloba and Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, the family said it remained “resolute in its demand for a transparent, independent, and comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death.” It announced the appointment of Oladayo Ogungbe, Esq., as the family’s sole legal representative for estate and DNA matters, while Dr. Wahab Shittu, SAN, will continue to represent them before investigative authorities. Three administrators — Ajewole Aloba, Rasaq Famuyiwa, and Alonge Aloba — were named to manage the late singer’s assets, with one slot left for Wunmi if the DNA test confirms that her son, Liam, is Mohbad’s biological child. The family also instructed Wunmi to “cease using the surname Aloba in public or private records until lawful confirmation of paternity is obtained,” noting that “no statutory or customary marriage was contracted between the late Mohbad and Wunmi Adebanjo.” Reacting, Wunmi’s lawyer, Kabir Akingbolu, described the directive as illegal and sentimental, saying, “Nobody can stop her from bearing Aloba. That is the name given to her by her husband, and under the law, she has every right to keep it.” He accused the Aloba family of frustrating the DNA process despite multiple court orders, adding, “We are ready for the DNA any time, any day. The child is not a bastard, and my client has nothing to fear.” Mohbad, a former Marlian Music signee, who is yet to be buried,  died on September 12, 2023, at 27. The Lagos State Police Command had earlier inaugurated a 13-man team to probe his death.

"I Got Pregnant When I Was 16 Years Old and the Guy Denied It" – Singer Waje. Nigerian singer Waje, recently revealed on the Honest Bunch podcast that she got pregnant at the age of 16. She recounted, “I was 16 when I got pregnant and I didn’t tell my mum till I was about five months gone.” When they approached the father’s family, he denied responsibility, insisting, “It’s not him, it’s not him,” making it his word against hers. At some point, he returned and expressed remorse, saying, “I was young, I wasn’t quite inmature then but now I would love to meet my daughter. I’m sorry Vivian but this child needs to know who her dad is.” Waje initially resisted, clarifying that her hesitation wasn’t due to bitterness as she was in a stable relationship at the time. She explained that when single parents restrict access to the other parent, it is often because that person could destabilize the child’s life. Eventually, Waje agreed but set conditions. She told him, “You are a citizen in Canada so file for your child,” noting that her daughter wasn’t interested in citizenship at the time. They agreed on a DNA test, but he delayed the process, and she never heard from him around 2015.

Soludo, Wife Dismiss Reported Apology From Uche Ekwunife as Fake Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo of Anambra State and his wife, Dr. Nonye Soludo, have rejected claims that Senator Uche Ekwunife issued an apology over defamatory remarks she allegedly made against them. The supposed apology, which circulated online and was credited to the “Ekwunife Campaign Organization,” was described by the Soludos as “another fabrication” lacking credibility. In a statement on Wednesday signed by Mazi Ejimofor Opara, Senior Special Assistant on New Media to the governor, the apology was dismissed as unsigned, misleading, and suspicious. The statement, titled “Sen. Ekwunife’s Purported Apology: Another Fabrication Fit for the Waste Bin,” noted that no such campaign organization exists, since Ekwunife is only a deputy governorship candidate on a joint ticket with the APC governorship flagbearer in Anambra. “The publication purporting to be an apology for the defamatory statements made against the Governor and his wife personally by Senator Ekwunife does not appear to have emanated from the Senator herself, given that her defamatory statements were made directly via recorded video and leaked audio conversation,” Opara said. He stressed that any genuine retraction or apology must come directly from Ekwunife herself, and through the same channels where the original allegations were made. Opara further pointed out that the purported apology failed to reference Ekwunife’s viral video and audio recordings, instead focusing on an unsigned write-up—an omission the Soludos believe indicates bad faith. The statement also recalled that Dr. Nonye Soludo had previously challenged Ekwunife to: 1. Swear an oath of marital fidelity before the Blessed Sacrament. 2. Subject her children, alongside the Soludos’, to a DNA test to disprove the infidelity allegations. “Any contrite apology must follow a personal and direct retraction of her defamatory statements,” Opara maintained. “Slander or libel made by an individual cannot be dismissed by proxy.” The Soludo administration described the apology as nothing more than “unsubstantiated social media gossip”, insisting it will be disregarded until Ekwunife herself issues a clear, unambiguous retraction.

Anambra First Lady Nonye Soludo Gives Uche Ekwunife 72 Hours to Retract Infidelity Claims, Threatens Legal Action The political rivalry in Anambra State has taken a dramatic turn as Nonye Soludo, wife of Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, has issued a 72-hour ultimatum to former senator and APC deputy governorship candidate, Uche Ekwunife, demanding a retraction and public apology over allegations of infidelity. In a strongly worded statement released on Saturday, Mrs Soludo described the accusations as “wilful and malicious,” warning that failure to recant would leave her with no option but to seek legal redress. “My lawyers have been put on notice. As a Christian, I will still give Uche a chance to repent and make restitution by withdrawing her false allegations within 72 hours and tendering an unreserved apology. If she fails, I will take every necessary step to ensure justice,” she declared. The feud erupted after a viral video captured Mrs Ekwunife alleging that Mrs Soludo had an affair with late Anambra governor Chinwoke Mbadinuju and questioning the paternity of her children. The remarks came shortly after Governor Soludo publicly challenged Ekwunife’s academic credentials, particularly her claimed Ph.D. Firing back, Mrs Soludo dismissed the claims as baseless: “In my 55 years on earth, I have known only one man — Chukwuma Soludo. I married him a virgin, and my fidelity in 33 years of marriage, and for life, is ironclad.” To prove her innocence, she went further, proposing DNA tests for both families in three London hospitals, promising to foot all expenses. She also challenged Mrs Ekwunife to take an oath of fidelity before the Blessed Sacrament in the Catholic Church. “I will swear with my children that I have known only one man, my husband. On your part, you should also swear with your children,” she added. The explosive exchange has heightened political tensions in Anambra, sparking widespread public debate as Nigerians watch to see whether Mrs Ekwunife will issue an apology or face legal consequences.

Explosive Twist: VDM Alleges Cover Up, Uonfirm Secret Video of Iyabo Ojo Begging Naira Marley as Mohbad Drama Deepens. VeryDarkMan claims Iyabo Ojo, Samklef, and others plotted fundraising, DNA denial, and manipulated Mohbad’s death narrative — Sandra Bende says “it’s all true.” In a viral exposé posted online, VDM alleged that a secret video exists of Iyabo Ojo kneeling and begging embattled artist Naira Marley for forgiveness — a man she had publicly accused of playing a role in Mohbad’s death. According to him, the same group that led the #JusticeForMohbad campaign were friends with the judge who sentenced Naira Marley and Sam Larry. VDM further claimed that shortly after Mohbad’s death in September 2023, these celebrities were already requesting donations in the singer’s name, supposedly for his son Liam. However, VDM questioned the legitimacy of those efforts, asking for a DNA test to confirm paternity. This request was met with outrage, but VDM maintains that even those pushing the donation campaign weren’t sure who Mohbad’s father truly was. sandra benede sandra benede He revealed that the group used Aloma DMW’s account to receive donations and threatened to arrest him after he asked questions about the funds. VDM then transferred ₦100 to the account, citing that it gave him a right to know how the money would be used a move that reportedly forced the campaign to end abruptly. VDM challenged Iyabo Ojo, Samklef, and others to publicly release the full content of their private group chats including screenshots and voice notes warning them not to tamper with any material or he’d expose them himself. According to VDM, the real motive for the outrage against Naira Marley and Sam Larry wasn’t entirely about justice for Mohbad, but about personal vendettas, manipulation, and an attempt to control public perception. He also alleged that the autopsy outcome was known long before it was officially released, thanks to inside leaks from Tonto Dikeh’s alleged DSS connections. As Nigerians wait for the promised evidence and screenshots, one thing is clear: the drama surrounding Mohbad’s death and the personalities involved is far from over. And with more revelations expected, this might just be the biggest entertainment scandal of the year.
