Joseph Ayoba, the father of the late Mohbad, has expressed deep concern for his safety, alleging those threats from the singer's widow, Wunmi, and her lawyer, Femi Falana, have left him fearful for his life.
In a recent interview, Ayoba voiced his disappointment regarding the delayed release of his son's autopsy report. He claimed to have received threats from Falana and Wunmi, leading to heightened anxiety about his safety.
"I need justice for my son, and I want people to support me. The delay in the autopsy report and other issues can lead to denial. I don’t trust anyone right now. The threats from Falana and his client have made it impossible for me to sleep. I need help, and I want people to support me because the autopsy is going to be done in a private facility," Ayoba stated.
Expressing his fears, Ayoba alleged that Wunmi might orchestrate harm against him and accused her of threatening his life. He also implicated Falana, claiming that the prominent lawyer was collaborating with Wunmi and had obstructed assistance from others.
"I don’t know where to live now because of the threats. Yesterday, when I heard a knock on my gate, I was scared it might be the people Wunmi said wanted to come and kill me. And Falana is still on her side," Ayoba asserted.
He further claimed that Wunmi had made threatening calls to him, even recording one such call. Ayoba accused Falana of being aware of these threats yet standing by Wunmi, preventing others from helping him.
"Despite everything, he is still supporting her. He is silencing people who speak the truth. He wants to manipulate for financial gain. We are from the same Ekiti State," Ayoba added.
The dispute between Mohbad's father and widow has escalated since the singer's demise on September 12, 2023. The conflict revolves around the singer's assets and possessions, with Ayoba urging Wunmi to conduct a paternity test on their son, Liam. Amidst the ongoing disagreements, Wunmi sought legal representation from Femi Falana.
