Video: MKO Abiola’s estate embroiled in controversy, son alleges brother’s wrongdoings

Abdul Mumuni Abiola, the son of late Nigerian politician MKO Abiola, has exposed shocking family secrets in a video that has gone viral on social media.

He revealed his father’s will, including cash payments to over 30 wives, with the first wife, Simbiat, receiving £300,000. Abdul also alleged that brothers Kola and Wuraola Abiola secretly sold 600,000 barrels of oil from their father’s estate, without sharing proceeds with other siblings.

“Basically, you know, for me, I think every time I do one of these interviews, it’s not necessarily about today, but about what tomorrow could be,” he said.

“Like with everything my father did, he was very meticulous in his outlook and approach to everything.

“You know, he was an accountant by trade, as matter of fact, an auditor. And if anybody knows anything about auditors, you know that they’re the one group of accountants that people don’t like, because what they do is they check other people’s work.

“So my father, being an auditor and being an accountant, was very meticulous in everything he did. So, you know, at the time of his passing in 1990s you have to understand that he had been arrested in 94 and he was later on assassinated in 98 and once he was assassinated, you know, my father had a Will and last testimony, you know, and it was very detailed piece of document.

“It was a very detailed piece of document, because what you see, if anybody was to look at the document a little, the document is actually available online, if anybody wanted to check whatever father had put in his Will, what you see is a man who was deliberate, who wanted to ensure that his wealth was divided properly according to his wishes.

“You’ll see that he had specified the wives and the exact amount of money that should be apportioned to each wife.

“He did that basically, what was due the first wife was about $300,000. My mother was apportioned about $150,000 and the third wife was to take about, I think 100,000, just like that.

“And he went down like that. He went to the point that, after he had accounted for all the wives, I think about maybe 30 wives identified, he also accounted for his siblings.

“It was what my father had, if you know, you know, he had a bunch, he had a lot of wives. But then you have to understand that it was also not something that was frowned upon at the time, in the 20th century.

“And so, yeah, so he had 30 wives, and he also identified some of his siblings, and also apportioned funds to them as well.

“So you can see that he was, he was a family man through and through, you know, he identified his family, his wives, he identified his siblings, and some certain people also that he had included in his Will.

“So my father was adamant about certain things, one of which was that anybody who was claiming to be an Abiola would have to go through a blood test, which we had, most of us have done.”
