She testified during the coroner’s inquest into the death of his husband .
The News Agency of Nigeria(NAN)reports that the singer died on Sept.12 ,aged 27 years ,and was buried the following day.

The inquest which began on Oct.13 is taking place at Ikorodu Magistrates’ Court.
She told the Coroner,Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi,that Mohbad’s father became angry with her because the late singer decided not to hold Liam’s naming ceremony in Ikorodu.
Omowunmi said Mohbad’s father accused her of being behind the late singer’s decision to go against his wish to hold the ceremony in the town,
She added Mohbad’s father brought different women to her matrimonial home on several occasions and that her own mother caught him on one of the occasions.
Omowunmi said Mohbad,who was always away from home , got to know about it and told his father not to bring women to his place again.
She said Mohbad’s father resented her and became hostle towards her because he thought she was driving a wedge between him and his son.
“I used to have a very good relationship with my father in-law before the birth of my son Liam.In fact , I used to invite him to our house on many occasions.
“But because Mohbad was angry with him over some of the things he was doing and his(Mohbad) refusal to hold our son’s naming ceremony in Ikorodu, he became angry with me,thinking I was the one behind all.
“So he became my enemy and was not talking to me like before”,she said.
Omowunmi also said her husband was humiliated, harassed, and bullied many times by his friends and members of Malian Recordds,his record label, before his death.
