The wife of late musician Oladimeji Aloba, known as Mohbad, Wunmi Aloba, has served a pre-action notice on her father-in-law, Joseph Aloba.
The pre-action notice demands an apology from Joseph Aloba for defamatory, insulting, and libelous social media and newspaper posts and publications about her.
Wunmi, who served the notice through her lawyers, claimed that her father-in-law lately resorted to defaming her through name-calling and also dragging her image into the mud.
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.”
The letter highlighted an interview Mohbad’s father made with Westo Adejumo Adekunle on African television, in which he was quoted as saying he hated his late son’s widow.
