“She’s Being Victimized” – Lawyer Festus Ogun Defends Mohbad’s Widow, Wunmi, Amid Public Backlash

Prominent Nigerian lawyer Festus Ogun has come forward with strong words in defense of Wunmi, the widow of late Nigerian singer Mohbad, stating that the backlash she’s receiving is “deliberate and calculated.”

Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Ogun revealed that he was present at the coroner’s inquest and has closely followed the proceedings surrounding Mohbad’s tragic passing.

🗣️ “From the inquest proceedings I’ve personally attended, it is clear to me that Wunmi is just being victimized. The attacks on her are deliberate, calculated, and unjustified.”

🔎 Background: Grief, Accusations, and a Nation’s Attention

Since Mohbad’s sudden and controversial death in September 2023, Wunmi has faced waves of suspicion, online harassment, and character assassination — with some netizens accusing her of hiding information or playing a role in the late singer’s demise.

Despite no concrete evidence publicly presented, the internet continues to buzz with speculative narratives, fueling her emotional trauma and legal distress.

🧠 Opinion: Injustice After Loss — A Second Blow for Wunmi

Festus Ogun’s statement should be a wake-up call to the public. While it’s understandable that Nigerians want answers for Mohbad’s tragic death, turning grief into blame without proof is not justice — it’s persecution.

Victim-blaming, especially against a widow navigating the legal and emotional fallout, only deepens the wound of an already painful loss. The legal system must be allowed to run its course, and innocent until proven guilty must apply to all — including Wunmi.

📣 What do you think — are Nigerians too quick to accuse without facts? Or is the public justified in demanding answers from all sides?
