The father of late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has generated significant online buzz with a recent video showing him dressed elegantly and singing joyfully amid an ongoing legal confrontation with his daughter-in-law.
Stylish Appearance Amid Family Conflict
Joseph Aloba, the grieving father, appeared in a viral video wearing a sophisticated black suit that caught viewers' attention. The footage shows him striking various poses for the camera while enthusiastically singing a song in the Yoruba language, presenting a cheerful demeanor that surprised many followers of the family's situation.
This public appearance comes during a tense period for the Aloba family, as Joseph remains engaged in a legal dispute with Omowunmi Aloba (commonly called Wunmi), the widow of his deceased son. The timing of the video has raised eyebrows among social media users who have been following the family's highly publicized conflicts.
Ongoing Legal Battle Over Mohbad's Legacy
The controversy between Mohbad's father and widow intensified recently when Joseph Aloba made serious allegations against Wunmi. He publicly declared that Mohbad and Wunmi were never legally married and has insisted that a DNA test must be conducted on her son, Liam Aloba, to verify paternity.
Joseph Aloba provided additional context for his position, claiming that his son had discovered Wunmi with another man before his untimely death. Mohbad allegedly informed his friend Myson, his elder sibling, and his mother about the incident before sharing the information with his father. According to Joseph, this discovery led Mohbad to cancel previously arranged wedding plans.
In response to these developments, Wunmi has taken legal action by filing documents at the Lagos State High Court in Ikeja. Her legal move aims to prevent any unauthorized attempts to assume control over the late singer's estate, ensuring proper management of Mohbad's legacy and assets.
Public Reaction to Joseph Aloba's Video
The video of Joseph Aloba's stylish appearance has triggered widespread criticism across social media platforms. Many Nigerians have expressed their disappointment with his seemingly celebratory demeanor while his son's body remains unburied and family conflicts continue unresolved.
One social media user, thatmumof5, commented in Yoruba, essentially questioning the father's behavior following his son's death. Another user, sirwilliams00, pointed out the apparent contradiction: "lol…your child dey morgue but you dey drip, this one no fit pray say make God spare him son life then take him own o."
Additional critical responses included shezcute's observation: "Was he not wailing on a podcast recently??? Not all parent deserves to be a parent. I don't expect him to mourn forever but trying to shine on your son's demise is irritable."
The comment from per_yardfabrics captured the confusion many feel: "Please can someone ask this man what his son did wrong Maybe his son offended him before his death that he has decided to punish the boy by not burying him. He is all happy and joyful while the boy's corpse lie in the mortuary."
Several commenters, including jaiyejju, suggested that jealousy might be motivating Joseph Aloba's actions: "He is a jealous father. He's starting to compete with his son Adura again. I feel so sorry for the people who think he is actually looking for justice for Mohbad. Hmmm."
The video has clearly struck a nerve with the Nigerian public, many of whom continue to mourn Mohbad's tragic passing and expected different behavior from his father during this difficult period for the family.
