It is reported that Wunmi gave birth to Liam, the son of the late Mohbad.
Aloba clarified the connection by referencing Mohbad’s song “Komajensun,” specifically pointing out the lyric, “Naira lo gbe omo fun mi, I’m not a womaniser,” as a reference to how Mohbad reconnected with Wunmi at Marlian Records.
Aloba disclosed to the reporter that Mohbad met Wunmi at Marlian Music, but they had known each other from Oke-Iletu, even though Wunmi was a student at that time.
The Lagos State Police Command has initiated an investigation to uncover the circumstances surrounding the artist’s tragic demise.
The Coroner’s inquest into Mohbad’s death has scheduled October 13, 2023, as the date for witnesses to testify before it.
Attorney Funmi Falana, who represented Mohbad’s family, along with other lawyers, conducted closed-door proceedings to deliberate on the arrangements for the presentation of evidence.
Speaking to the journalist after the proceedings, Falana stated, “What we did today was to determine the procedures and timing for seeking justice. The date has been set, and we will be presenting our witnesses.”
