Mohbad’s Wife Threatens N50m Lawsuit against Father-in-Law For Defamation

Wunmi Aloba, the spouse of the deceased musician Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has officially issued a pre-action notice to her father-in-law, Joseph Aloba for defamation and derogatory remarks and comments about her person.

Part of the notice alluding to this goes thus:

“…through newspaper campaign of calumny, character assassination, name-calling, defamation of characters against her and use of reckless language to portray her image and personality to gain cheap attention and sympathy from unsuspecting members of the public”.

In the pre-action notice served by her legal representatives, Wunmi Aloba equally demands an apology from Joseph Aloba for his defamatory, insulting, and libelous social media and newspaper posts concerning her which she deemed as actionable in a court of law and one she plans to pursue.

The full content of the notice letter is as follows;

“We have been consulted, briefed, and our services retained by Mrs. Aloba Cynthia Omowunmi, hereinafter referred to as “Our Client” and at her behest, we write you in respect of the above subject.“

“Our Client’s brief reveals that you have recently resorted to a newspaper campaign of calumny, character assassination, name-calling, defamation of characters against her, and use of reckless language to portray the image and personality of our client to gain cheap attention and sympathy from the unsuspecting members of the public.”

“…If, however, you fail, refuse or neglect to hearken to this subtle demand, we will be left with no choice than to commence legal proceedings against you to assert our client’s rights and claim 50 million naira damages in that respect.”
