Fresh allegations emerge as the widow and sisters of late Nigerian broadcaster Gbenga Adeboye renew family hostilities.
Twenty-three years after the death of iconic Nigerian comedian and broadcaster Gbenga Adeboye, a bitter family feud has resurfaced in public view. The renewed hostilities stem from a recent media interview granted by his widow, Omolara Adeboye, on YouTube.
During the explosive interview, Omolara accused her late husband relatives of abandoning her and interfering with his estate after his demise in April 2003. She detailed years of silent suffering, depression, and alleged spiritual attacks orchestrated by family members, according to information published by NIGERIA.
The revelations immediately triggered sharp counter-responses from the late entertainer's sisters, Seun and Sayo. Speaking on a separate YouTube platform, the siblings challenged Omolara's accounts, raising counter-accusations regarding property management, hospital events, and the paternity of her children.
Omolara Adeboye alleges abandonment and missing property documents
Reflecting on her life after her husband passed away at the age of 43, Omolara stated that she could not properly mourn due to overwhelming depression and sadness. She specifically accused her late husband's brother, Femi Adeboye, of taking crucial documents relating to a house built by Gbenga.
According to the widow, Femi initially promised to return the housing documents before claiming he had handed them over to the head of the family. Omolara also claimed she was targeted with traditional charms and spiritual items designed to ensure no man would ever look her way again.
Gbenga Adeboye sisters demand DNA tests and deny fetish allegations
In a swift rebuttal, sisters Seun and Sayo defended their family name and painted a very different picture of events. Seun described her late brother as a deeply prayerful man who firmly rejected overtures to join confraternities or engage in fetish practices during his lifetime.
Sayo went further by demanding DNA tests to establish the biological paternity of Omolara's three children. She claimed that Gbenga told Femi on his sickbed that Igwe Adeboye was his only biological son, fueling intense demands for scientific verification.
Disputes over hospital visits and medical care emerge
The sisters also accused Omolara of mistreating Gbenga during his final days in the hospital. Sayo alleged that Omolara ignored medical advice by offering her sick husband tea and brought an Islamic cleric from Ibadan to perform rituals involving a hen and a heated knife.
Defending herself against these claims, Omolara explained that she was excluded from critical decisions when her husband was transferred between hospitals without her consent. She maintained that she actively cared for him, bathed him, and remained dedicated to her family.
