My husband always asked MohBad's wife to put only one meat in my food - Late artiste's mother

Abosede, mother of deceased artiste, MohBad, has said that it was his dad, Joseph Aloba, that caused enmity between her and MohBad’s widow, Omowumi.

She said the relationship between her and Omowumi used to be cordial when MohBad was alive – until Joseph allegedly hurt it.

In an interview in Saturday PUNCH, Abosede said the estranged husband went as far as asking Omowumi not to put more than a piece of meat in the food she gave her.

She noted:

“Omowunmi did not offend me, and I don’t have any problem with her. It was Joseph who gave her the effrontery and authority to treat me anyhow. He wanted to control me and Mohbad. He put all of us under her, and elevated her above all of us. Whatever command he gave to her was what she did to us.

“Omowunmi and Joseph were very close, and even I could not get between them. Whenever I visited Mohbad’s house, Joseph would tell Omowunmi to put only one meat in my food.”

Also concerning the love life between her and Joseph, she said it was problematic from the beginning.

According to her, Joseph’s claim that she abandoned MohBad for 10 years is untrue:

“I never left my children for 10 years. I did not drop them with anyone. Their father, Joseph, was the one that wanted to kill me. He wanted to stab me to death, yet I still stayed. However, some people sent my parents a message, that they should come and take me away from his house, before he would kill me.

He (Joseph) is lying that he caught me cheating on him. Many people have been calling me an adulterer, because of the lies he told against me.

“What caused the fight was that my father actually asked me not to marry him from the onset. He did not even accept our introduction. He was so adamant about not accepting our marriage. But, at that time, I was already pregnant. I had even given birth to my first child, Ibukun. Even after her birth, my dad said that she should be collected from me and brought to him, so that I could come home. When I gave birth to Promise and Mohbad, my father still did not accept. He wanted my mum to collect my first child from me, so that I could come back home, but my mother refused. She did not want me to have children for more than one husband, because if I left Mohbad’s father, I would have to remarry. She begged my dad, but he still refused. It was after I gave birth to my third child, Adura, that my father and I spoke after a long time. He came to see me at the hospital. Back then, I used to sneak to the house to see my mum, because my father must not see me. He even sent my mother out of the house, because I chose to love and marry Mohbad’s .”
