Mohbad’s sister-in-law, Karimot, has made fresh revelations concerning the death of late singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known Mohbad.

Karimot alleged on TikTok Live on Monday, that the late singer’s wife, Wunmi, had a hand in his death, leaving social media users in shock.

She noted that the couple had a terrible fight, which damaged a particular railing in his house.

According to Karimot, it was the quarrel that prompted Wunmi to get a nurse, which eventually led to Mohbad’s death.

Karimot, who publicly disowned Wunmi, also claimed she had some implicating information about the singer’s ex-wife.

She alleged that Wunmi stole Mohbad’s phone from his mother and has refused to return it alongside other phones that were collected for evidence.

The late singer’s sister-in-law further revealed that Wunmi has an account opened in her mother’s name where Mohbad’s funds are diverted.

Karimot had tendered an apology to Mohbad’s father following the release of his autopsy result.

This is coming after Nigerian actor Yomi Fabiyi took to social media to rally support for the Mohbad, urging the public to attend the next court date for the ongoing coroner inquest into Mohbad’s death.

Fabiyi posted on Instagram with a screenshot and the hashtag #JusticeForMohbad, calling for a peaceful demonstration in front of the court.

In his post, Fabiyi emphasized the need for unity and peaceful protest, advising his followers to disregard negative comments and focus on the goal of seeking justice.

He wrote, “Let us be united in one voice to achieve this goal and get closure. IGNORE OR DELETE NEGATIVE VIBES, this is social media. Not every comment from accounts should look like authentic public perception or opinion. Some are distractions.”

Fabiyi urged his followers to attend the upcoming coroner inquest with placards to voice their demands, and if no progress is made, to focus on the one-year anniversary of Mohbad’s death as a future opportunity to continue the call for justice.

Meanwhile, Mohbad’s family has requested that organizations and individuals planning to mark the first anniversary of his death suspend their plans.

Nollywood actor, Fatai Adekunle Adetayo, popularly known as Lalude, has accused the president of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), MC Oluomo, of failing to fulfil financial promises made to celebrities who campaigned for President Bola Tinubu and Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, during the 2023 general elections.

Speaking during a recent episode of the Beyond the Fame podcast, Lalude expressed deep disappointment over what he described as abandonment, revealing that he and other entertainers were promised N1.5 million each by MC Oluomo but never received a dime.

Lalude, known for his iconic ‘babalawo’ roles in Yoruba movies, said he and other actors, including comedian Ganiu ‘Alapini’ Nofiu, were lodged and made to campaign for weeks without proper compensation.

According to him, they initially received N10,000 daily for feeding, but even that was stopped abruptly.

“We were camped for seven weeks. We trekked long distances every day while MC Oluomo followed us in his car. In the end, we were abandoned,” he lamented.

He claimed that both he and Alapini were promised N1.5 million each, a promise that was never fulfilled.

‘We finished the work and no dime was given to us. Is it good? It was MC who called us.

“MC promised me and Alapini. He asked us to demand for whatever we wanted. We did but we got nothing up till date.

“He took us to where we lodged to campaign for the president. He promised to give us N1.5 million each.

“Whoever is behind these misdeeds will not prosper. I know they will still come to us by 2027 and we are waiting for them?” He added bitterly.

This comes just days after veteran Nollywood actor Ganiu Nafiu, popularly known as Alapini, and actress Bukky Adekogbe Raji, also known as Aminatu Papapa, expressed deep regret for supporting President Tinubu during the 2023 presidential campaign.
