The widow of the late Afrobeats singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, Omowunmi Cynthia Aloba, has taken legal steps to prevent any unauthorised attempt to claim or control the singer’s estate.
Naijaonpoint reports that Aloba filed a formal notice at the Lagos State High Court, Ikeja, urging the Probate Registry to reject any application for Letters of Administration not submitted by the lawful beneficiaries.
According to a letter dated November 19, 2025 and submitted by the law firm Salawu, Akingbolu & Co., Mohbad’s widow confirmed that she had filed Form 5 and Form 6, both of which legally bar the issuance of Letters of Administration to any party other than those recognised by law.
The correspondence, signed by I. P. Awo (Esq.), further identifies Omowunmi as the legal wife of the deceased and the mother of his only surviving child, Master Liam Aloba.
She explained that public announcements supporting the legal move were placed in two national newspapers in November 2025, warning against any: “Surreptitious or fraudulent attempts to claim the estate without proper legal process.”
Her legal team stressed that the notice already sits in court records and remains binding until the estate is duly and lawfully administered.
They added that no irregular attempt to bypass the legal process would be entertained, especially: “Given that the deceased’s lawful wife and son are still alive.”
The move comes amid ongoing public interest in the late singer’s estate, following controversies surrounding his death and family disputes over his assets.
