Drama as Omije Ojumi’s children discover their biological father at her funeral
Drama reportedly unfolded during the burial of late gospel singer Omije Ojumi today after a man claiming to be the biological father of her child surfaced in an emotional phone call that stunned attendees.
In a viral video circulating online, the incident happened during the funeral rites where mourners were dressed in white to lay the singer to rest.
The man, who placed a call during the gathering, reportedly said he wanted to pay his last respects to Omije Ojumi before speaking with the children.
In the call, he introduced himself as their father and claimed he had been searching for them for years but was repeatedly blocked from having access by their mother.
In his words, he said:
“I’m your daddy and I’ve been looking for you. If you remember, I called your school years back when you were at Front Liner.
I spoke to you through the school line and told you not to tell your mummy because she wouldn’t allow me talk to you. I don’t know how she found out, but she took police to arrest all the teachers in the school,” he was heard saying.
The daughter, however, did not personally take the call.
Instead, a family member put the phone on speaker so she could hear him out, as emotions ran high at the scene.
The moment sparked mixed reactions among mourners, with some visibly uncomfortable as the call played out during such a sensitive time.
The situation has since generated heavy discussions online, with many questioning the timing of the call, while others expressed sympathy for the children caught in the middle of the situation.
Omije Ojumi passed away after a prolonged illness and was laid to rest amid tears, tributes, and heartfelt moments celebrating her life, music, and sacrifices as a mother.
