Abdulmumuni Abiola, one of the sons of the late MKO Abiola, has publicly stated that he will never forgive his elder brother, Kola Abiola, accusing him of withholding their father’s inheritance from the family.
Abdulmumuni made the statement during his appearance on the ‘Mic On Podcast’, hosted by Seun Okinbaloye, on Saturday.
In the interview, Abdulmumuni revealed that Kola Abiola has refused to release funds willed to MKO Abiola’s first four wives, despite DNA tests confirming the legitimate heirs.
He explained that their late father had allocated £650,000 to the wives, with specific amounts designated for each.
“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 apportions the money to them,” Abdulmumuni said.
“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.
“Not to mention my mum’s apartment in the UK, before we knew anything, Kola had sold it without telling my brothers or my sister anything about it.
“So you can see that they were systematic to try to impoverish my mum’s side of the family. And for that reason, I don’t think I will be able to forgive him (Kola).”
