Omowunmi the wife of Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba better known as Mohbad has left many emotional over a video of her at the Headies Award.
Kemi Filani reported on Sunday that the 17th edition of the Headies Awards was held at the Landmark Event Centre in Lagos with many celebrities in attendance.
In a Snapchat post posted on Chioma Good Hair’s page, Omowunmi was captured shedding tears as her husband’s tribute was played. In the clip, Wunmi sat with Priscilla Ojo and Chioma Good Hair as Mohbad’s song was played.
The mother of one broke down into tears as Priscilla held onto her and comforted her.
In her caption, Chioma Good Hair noted how Wunmi hasn’t been able to mourn her husband in peace since his death.
“Bless you, my love. May Nigeria never happen to us. She hasn’t been able to mourn her husband Mohbad in peace since he died. And this is the first time he’s being honoured by an organisation, must be so emotional”.
At the award ceremony, the late Mohbad won the Best Street Music (Street Hop Artiste) of the Year award and the Viewer’s Choice for his song, ‘Egwu,’ with Chike.
Giving a speech to celebrate her husband’s win, Wunmi said she doesn’t refer to him as her late husband because he lives forever, especially through their son, Liam. The mother of one expressed gratitude to the organisers of the awards for honouring her husband’s memory and legacy, as she made it known that it means a lot to them.
Refreshing your memory, Mohbad, a former signee of Naira Marley’s record label, tragically passed away at 27 under unclear circumstances on September 12, 2023.
In February, Mohbad’s wife had opened up about her struggles since the death of the singer the TV host. She revealed that she often questioned God for taking the life of her husband. She spoke about her father-in-law and how he has been fighting her about her husband’s property and also spoke about the threats she has been receiving from Naira Marley and others.
Recall that following the singer’s death, many had clamored for a DNA test to be done on Liam, his son to ascertain his paternity. Even Mohbad’s father had called for DNA to be done on his son, a statement which Cynthia Morgan agreed with.
Last year, in April, a Chief Magistrate Court sitting in Ikorodu granted the order that Omowunmi needed to be served a notice of the pending DNA test application. The legal team told the court that the Sheriff of the court had attempted twice to serve Wunmi the court process but failed and the Chief Magistrate then ordered that Wunmi should be served by posting the court process on her last known address.
