Drama at Omije Ojumi’s Funeral: Ex-Husband Emerges After 15 Years, Alleges “Parental Alienation”

LAGOS — The final burial rites of the beloved gospel singer, Omije Ojumi, took an unexpected and dramatic turn this week as her estranged ex-husband surfaced publicly for the first time in 15 years, making shocking allegations against the deceased.

What was intended to be a solemn farewell became a scene of high tension when the children reportedly discovered their father’s identity during the proceedings. The revelation led to emotional outbursts and visible shock among mourners.

The Allegations

The ex-husband claims his 15-year absence was not a choice. He alleges Deliberate Blocking: The late singer allegedly prevented all communication between him and the children.

Police Intervention: He claims that whenever he attempted to visit his children at school, his ex-wife would involve law enforcement to have him arrested.

Emotional Discovery: Footage has since surfaced showing the children speaking to their father on the phone for the first time in over a decade during the very event meant to bury their mother.

While the burial was meant to honor the legacy of the gospel icon, it has instead sparked a heated public debate regarding family secrets and the rights of fathers.
