Online activist Martins Vincent Otse, known as Verydarkman or VDM, has made two separate allegations against Wunmi, the widow of late Afrobeats singer Mohbad, in videos posted on Instagram.
In the first video, posted on Sunday, 16 August, VDM alleged that Wunmi forged an official document to gain access to her late husband’s estate. He pointed to a discrepancy between two of her identity documents. According to VDM, Wunmi’s international passport, renewed roughly a year after Mohbad’s death, lists her name as Adebanjo Cynthia Omowunmi. Her National Identification Number record, he said, carries a different surname: Aloba Cynthia Omowunmi. VDM called the mismatch evidence of forgery and linked it to his earlier questions about Mohbad’s death and the silence of the singer’s brother, Adura.
The claim drew mixed reactions online. On X, one user directly challenged the premise, noting that her NIN lists her father’s surname while her passport lists her husband’s, a common arrangement in Nigeria that does not constitute fraud. Another user dismissed VDM’s claim outright, writing that he had “no evidence at all” and accusing him of reviving the Mohbad case to stay relevant after a public dispute with musician Peter Okoye. Fewer commenters sided with VDM, saying that he and his supporters should take any evidence to court rather than to social media.
In a second video, published Monday, 17 August, VDM raised concerns about the court-ordered paternity test for Liam, Mohbad’s son. The test requires tissue samples, such as bone, skin, or teeth, because Mohbad’s embalmed body no longer contains usable blood or other fluid for a standard DNA swab. VDM said the court had asked both sides in the case to submit three laboratories each, with one to be chosen per side. The three submitted were DNA Diagnostics Center in Fairfield, Ohio, put forward by Mohbad’s father; Alpha BioLab in Warrington, United Kingdom, submitted by Wunmi’s side; and Advanced IS Pathology Laboratory in London, provided by court welfare officer Mrs R. O. Adiramo.
VDM said a member of Mohbad’s father’s team emailed the two laboratories they had not nominated to confirm their capabilities before any samples were collected. He said Alpha BioLab replied that it could not assist because the body had already been embalmed, while Advanced IS Pathology Laboratory replied that it does not offer DNA testing services. VDM questioned how a lab with no DNA-testing capability ended up on a list submitted by the court’s own welfare officer. “This DNA must be done,” he said in the video.

Wunmi has not issued a public response to either claim as of this writing. She has previously rejected VDM’s accusations. In a March 2025 Instagram post, she wrote that she had endured his “harassment, false narratives, and attempts to obstruct justice” for nearly two years and told him to “mind your business.”
The paternity dispute has been before the Nigerian courts for several months, following disagreements between Wunmi and her father-in-law, Joseph Aloba, over how and where the test should be carried out. No court has confirmed a finding of forgery or a DNA result as of 17 August 2026.
