In the aftermath of the tragic and controversial death of Nigerian singer Mohbad, the public outcry for justice has taken a new turn. Social media is now flooded with fervent demands for the arrest of Mohbad’s widow, Wunmi Aloba, as the #ArrestWunmiNow hashtag gains unprecedented traction.
The renewed calls for action stem from the outspoken campaign led by self-styled investigative journalist Kemi Olunloyo, who has repeatedly expressed her belief that Wunmi is a key suspect in her husband’s mysterious passing. Olunloyo has taken to social media, particularly TikTok and the X platform, to mobilize her followers and drive the #ArrestWunmiNow movement.
In a video posted on TikTok, Olunloyo called on her supporters to join her in amplifying the hashtag, stating that if it gains enough momentum, it could catch the attention of international news outlets like Al Jazeera. She plans to set up a video interview with these channels, where she intends to bring in Mohbad’s father, Mr. Joseph Aloba, to share his side of the story.
The intensified calls for Wunmi’s arrest follow Olunloyo’s recent live video interview with Mr. Aloba, where he expressed his deep disappointment and anger over the interactions he had with fellow musician Bella Shmurda following his son’s tragic demise.
As the #ArrestWunmiNow hashtag continues to dominate social media discussions, the public’s demand for justice in the Mohbad case shows no signs of abating. The growing clamor has created a significant stir, and it remains to be seen how the authorities and those involved will respond to the heightened calls for accountability.
