The late artist Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad’s wife, Wunmi Aloba, has issued her father-in-law, Joseph Aloba, with a pre-action notice requesting an apology for disparaging, offensive, and libellous social media and newspaper remarks and publications about her.
Wunmi Aloba, who had the notice served by her solicitors, said that her father-in-law had recently started calling her names and smearing her reputation.
Part of the notice reads: “…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”.
The letter read: “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.”
The letter referred to an African television interview in which Mohbad’s father was cited as stating he detested his late son’s widow. The interview was conducted with Westo Adejumo Adekunle.
