My Father Left £650,000 For His First Four Wives – MKO Abiola Son, Abdulmumuni

Abdulmumuni Abiola, one of the sons of the late Nigerian billionaire and philanthropist, Moshood Abiola, has disclosed that his late father willed £650,000 to his first four wives.

This was revealed in a programme titled ‘Mic On Podcast’ hosted by Channels TV presenter, Seun Okinbaloye.

The video of the programme was released on Saturday.

A look at a copy of the late politician’s will which was displayed showed that Abiola’s first wife, Simbiat, got £300,000; the second wife, Kudirat, £150,000; the third wife, Moriamo, £100,000; and the fourth, Idiat, £100,000.

Abdulmumuni, son of Kudirat Abiola, took jabs at his older brother, Kola, for allegedly refusing to give him and his sisters their rightful inheritance from their father.

He noted that the family had done a series of blood tests to know the legitimate children of the late business mogul entitled to his will.

When asked why some of Abiola’s children suffer despite the humongous wealth left behind by the deceased, Abdulmumuni said, “Let me give you some background on that. We did blood tests so we had a list of qualifying children. If you look at the will and you see how systematic it is, he names the wives and he apportions the money to them. I would like to give you some information on that. My mum was number two (Kudirat Olayinka Abiola). I think she was apportioned £150,000.

“At the time, Kola had sighted the fact that my mum died before my dad died, and because of that, British law would not allow him to release the £150,000 to us. He also said that his mum too is dead and he didn’t get the £300,000 for his mother. But you are the one sharing the money, so it’s odd…If he wanted to, he could have given us the money.”

Abdulmumuni recalled that he alongside his mother’s children was struggling to make ends meet after the loss of their parents, saying, “It would have been useful to us to have that funds.
