Activist Calls For Travel Restrictions On Mohbad’s Wife, Child
Renowned human rights activist, Akinola Adelabu-Soul, has called for travel restrictions on Omowunmi, the spouse of late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, along with their son, Liam.
In a letter titled “Urgent Request to Monitor and Prevent Departure of Mohbad’s Wife and Child,” Adelabu-Soul highlighted concerns surrounding Mohbad’s unexpected passing, which has left fans and the music community in disbelief.
The letter, directed to 13 different consulates across the nation, underscores the need for scrutiny amidst lingering questions surrounding the tragic incident.
Among the consulates listed are those representing the United States of America, Brazil, France, Italy, Russia, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany, the Republic of Cyprus, Greenland, Canada, the Republic of Korea, and China.
Highlighting Omowunmi’s integral role in Mohbad’s life, Adelabu-Soul emphasized the sensitivity of the situation following the artist’s untimely demise.
He urged the embassies to exercise vigilance and impede their departure from Nigeria until the conclusion of the ongoing investigation.
Adelabu-Soul further emphasized the importance of Omowunmi and her child remaining within the country during this crucial period for transparency and accountability purposes.
The statement reads, “Recently, the Nigerian music industry suffered a great loss with the untimely demise of the talented artist Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad. His passing has left fans and fellow artists in shock, and there are lingering questions surrounding the circumstances of his death.
“Omowunmi, his 24-year-old wife, was an integral part of Mohbad’s life. They were married, and together they had a young child named Liam. As investigations unfold, it has come to light that a nurse may be connected to the events leading up to Mohbad’s demise. The police have exhumed his body for an autopsy, and the situation remains highly sensitive.
“In light of these developments, I kindly request that your esteemed embassy be vigilant and prevent the departure of Wunmi and their child from Nigeria until the investigation is thoroughly completed.
“We trust that your office will handle this matter with the utmost discretion and urgency. The Nigerian people seek justice, and we believe that your cooperation will contribute significantly to achieving it.”
The letter also included copies sent to the Nigeria Immigration Service and the Lagos State Police Command headquarters.
Adelabu-Soul called on the NIS to closely monitor all travel-related activities of Wunmi and take necessary precautions to prevent her departure.
Similarly, he urged the police to stay informed about the situation and assist in ensuring her presence in the country.
In response, Wunmi’s lawyer, Taiwo Olawanle, stated that Adelabu-Soul lacked the authority to issue such a letter, further asserting that his client had no intentions of leaving the country.
Model Olajumoke Orisaguna, popularly known as Olajumoke Onibread, has opened up about her traumatic experiences in her marriage, accusing her ex-husband, Sunday Orisaguna, of domestic violence and ruining her career.
In an interview with City FM, Olajumoke shared harrowing details of her past, highlighting the abuse she endured during her time in her ex-husband’s family home in Ire, Osun State.
“We stayed in my husband’s family house at Ire in Osun State, and there is no way you stay in such a place that you would not encounter problems,” she recounted.
Olajumoke revealed that her mother-in-law’s hostility exacerbated the situation, as her ex-husband often sided with his mother without hearing her perspective.
“He would not hear my own side of the story before beating me. Whenever I had a misunderstanding with his mother, he would beat me to the extent that my face and body would be swollen. Sometimes he would even use a belt,” she said.

She further explained how she kept the abuse hidden to avoid upsetting her mother, who also lived nearby. Despite the hardships, Olajumoke continued to support the family financially, as her husband was unemployed.
Reflecting on a pivotal moment in January 2016, Olajumoke described the day she decided to leave:
“We were frying akara for his dad’s remembrance when I had an issue with his elder sister. As usual, he beat me up, and I decided that I was going to leave, move to Lagos, and start working at the bakery because I had been there before.”
Three days later, she relocated to Lagos with her two children. According to Olajumoke, the separation led to further challenges as her ex-husband began tarnishing her reputation, contributing to her career’s decline.
“Everything started going down the drain after separation because he started spoiling my name. Since then, things started going down,” she lamented.
Olajumoke, who rose to fame in 2016 after a chance encounter during a photoshoot with British rapper Tinie Tempah and photographer TY Bello, is now using her platform to shed light on the struggles she endured.
The model’s story has reignited conversations about domestic abuse and the societal pressures faced by women in similar situations.
