Abdulmumuni Vows No Forgiveness as Abiola’s Children Battle Over £650,000
Abdulmumuni Abiola, one of the sons of the late Chief MKO Abiola, has declared that he will never forgive his elder brother, Kola Abiola, due to ongoing tensions over their father’s inheritance.
Abdulmumuni claims that Kola has deliberately withheld funds that were willed to their father’s children, despite all necessary procedures, including blood tests, being completed to confirm their legitimacy.
In an interview on the ‘Mic On Podcast’ hosted by Seun Okinbaloye, Abdulmumuni detailed the family dispute, alleging that Kola has refused to distribute £650,000 which their late father, MKO Abiola, had willed to his first four wives.
Abdulmumuni explained that Kola has continuously denied releasing the money to the beneficiaries, which has caused division within the family.
He shared background information, stating that the inheritance was meticulously outlined in the will, with specific amounts assigned to each wife.
Abdulmumuni’s mother, Kudirat Olayinka Abiola, who was MKO’s second wife, was to receive £150,000.
However, Kola has reportedly refused to hand over the money, citing legal technicalities under British law as the reason.
Abdulmumuni recounted that Kola had argued their mother, Kudirat, passed away before their father, and under British law, this supposedly meant the money could not be released.
Kola also claimed that he didn’t receive the £300,000 intended for his own mother, who had also passed away.
Abdulmumuni expressed disbelief, pointing out that Kola, being in control of the estate, could have chosen to release the funds if he truly wanted to.
Adding to the grievance, Abdulmumuni revealed that Kola had sold their mother’s apartment in the UK without informing him or his siblings.
He described this as part of a deliberate effort to impoverish their side of the family, leading him to feel deeply betrayed.
The family dispute has clearly taken a toll on Abdulmumuni, who voiced his frustration, stating that due to Kola’s actions, he cannot bring himself to forgive his elder brother.
The inheritance, which was meant to provide for the family, has instead caused a deep rift, leaving unresolved tensions between the siblings.
The Chairman of Gboko Local Government Area of Benue State, Torseer Yina, has imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew in the ancient town.
The curfew takes effect from Thursday, October 8, 2026, following unrest and violent protests in the area.
According to reports, the action was taken to contain the unrest and violent protests by members of BEMOA following the death of one of its members by unknown gunmen.
The protest, which was reportedly hijacked by hoodlums, turned violent after an angry mob burnt two vehicles belonging to the Benue State Civil Protection Guards.
The Gboko council chairman said the curfew takes effect immediately and warned that anyone caught flouting the order or breaching public peace would be decisively dealt with.
Nine people have died in a fatal road crash along the Ijebu-Ode-Benin Expressway in Ogun State.
The crash occurred on Monday at about 4:55pm around the Bethel area along the Ijebu-Ode/Ore axis of the expressway. It involved a white Toyota Hiace commercial bus belonging to Delta Line and a white Sino truck operated by Bill Gas Solution Ltd.
According to the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), all nine people involved in the crash, comprising three males and six females, died in the incident.
The FRSC said the crash occurred while it was raining and the road was wet, with preliminary investigations identifying speed violation as the probable cause.
The FRSC rescue team arrived at the scene shortly after receiving the report, while the bodies of the victims were taken to the General Hospital Morgue in Ijebu-Ode.
The Ogun State Sector Commander, Oludare Ogunjobi, urged motorists, especially commercial drivers, to obey speed limits and exercise extra caution when driving in the rain.
Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, speaks on the role and importance of teachers in the world to celebrate Teachers’ Day today.
He spoke on technology and its advancement and shared that while it is going well, teachers can never be replaced.
“These tools can help teachers reach learners and tailor instruction, but the judgement, encouragement and human connection of a skilled teacher remain indispensable,” he said.
“Every doctor, engineer, scientist, entrepreneur and public servant has benefited from a teacher and could not have become what they are today without teachers,” the minister said.
“When we honour teachers, we honour the people who make every other profession possible.”
