Omowunmi Cynthia Aloba, widow of the late Afrobeats star Ilerioluwa “Mohbad” Aloba, has taken legal steps to prevent unauthorized claims or control over the singer’s estate.
Aloba filed a formal notice at the Lagos State High Court, Ikeja, urging the Probate Registry to reject any application for Letters of Administration submitted by parties other than the lawful beneficiaries.
According to a letter dated November 19, 2025, submitted by the law firm Salawu, Akingbolu & Co., Aloba confirmed she had filed Form 5 and Form 6, which legally prevent the issuance of Letters of Administration to anyone not recognized by law.
The correspondence, signed by I. P. Awo (Esq.), identifies Omowunmi as the legal wife of the deceased and mother of his only surviving child, Master Liam Aloba. Public announcements supporting the legal action were published 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 emphasized that the notice is already part of court records and remains binding until the estate is lawfully administered. They further noted that no irregular attempt to bypass the legal process would be entertained, particularly as the deceased’s lawful wife and son are still alive.
The move comes amid growing public interest and controversy surrounding the late singer’s estate, following disputes over his assets and family disagreements in the wake of his passing.
