Omowunmi To Nigerians: Help Me Beg Mohbad’s Dad To Bury Him

Mohbad’s wife, Omowunmi, has urged Nigerians to ask her father-in-law, Joseph Aloba, to bury the late musician.

On September 12, 2023, Mohbad passed away following an injection given by Feyisayo Ogedengbe. The next day, he was laid to rest.

His body was dug up by authorities for an autopsy on September 21, 2023. Omowunmi lamented that Mohbad’s body is still in the morgue 18 months after his death in a long Instagram post on Wednesday.

“It has been 18 months since my husband left this world. 18 months of waking up every day to a reality never asked for. 18 months of missing him with every breath I take. 18 months of carrying the weight of being both mother and father to our now 23-month-old child,” she wrote.

“The heavens know how much I miss him. There are no words that can truly describe the depth of this pain, the emptiness he left behind.

“…To the general public, I am pleading with you, help me ask my father-in-law to bury my husband.

“There is no reason, no justification for why his body is still lying in the morgue after all this time. No reason why the man I vowed to love forever has been left in cold storage, denied the dignity of a final resting place.

“My father-in-law is not keeping him there out of love or grief. He is holding on because of the attention and money he continues to receive.

“He knows that once my husband is finally laid to rest, the public sympathy, the donations, the sudden fame he has found will disappear.

“He is dragging this on, not because he seeks justice, but because he benefits from my husband’s death.”

She added that “Joseph is not alone,” alleging that his supporters are also encouraging him to delay the burial because they are “benefiting” from Mohbad’s death.

“And he is not alone in this. There are people on social media who stand with him, who act as his spokespersons,” she added.

“These people have turned my husband’s death into a business. They profit from this tragedy. They have built platforms off my pain. They have made careers out of bullying me and my child.

“They make money from telling lies about me, from spreading malicious propaganda to discredit me. And worse, some of them even pay my father-in-law a monthly salary from what they make online.

“Please, I am pleading with you. Hear my cry. Help me. Let my husband rest. Let my child have peace. Let me grieve without this never-ending battle hanging over me. I am begging. Please.”

This is long over due. I really don’t know why they are still delaying his burial.

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy

One ❤️❤️❤️
