The Ikorodu High Court in Lagos State has ordered that three separate DNA tests be conducted abroad to determine the paternity of Liam, the son of late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.

The ruling followed ongoing legal proceedings between Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, and the singer’s widow, Wunmi, over claims surrounding the child’s biological paternity. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

Mohbad died on September 27, 2023, under circumstances that sparked nationwide outrage and intense public scrutiny. Since his death, disputes concerning his estate and family affairs — particularly the paternity of his son — have continued to draw significant attention.

At the resumed hearing on Tuesday, February 3, counsel to Joseph Aloba, Barrister Oladayo Ogungbe, disclosed that the court directed both parties to recommend three foreign medical facilities capable of conducting tissue-based DNA testing.

According to Ogungbe, the legal teams representing both Joseph Aloba and Wunmi are required to submit their preferred testing centres located outside Nigeria. The court will then select one laboratory from each party’s submission, alongside a third independent facility, bringing the total number of DNA tests to three.

He added that the court specifically emphasised that all selected laboratories must possess the technical capacity to carry out tissue-based DNA analysis, rather than standard cheek-swab testing.

Joseph Aloba has consistently maintained that the remains of his late son will not be buried until the paternity of Liam is conclusively established through DNA testing.

The court subsequently adjourned the case to February 10 for further proceedings.

All I can say is sorry Mohbad. This guy no deny him child while alive. Why are all this people troubling his wife and child? Because of money? If the test comes out that the child is his, that child will forever hate this family. I hope they are ready.

Why woman go dey fear to do DNA?

If your woman dey fear DNA, then definitely she’s not sure who got her pregnant.. and it means she’s been doing stuffs . In fact, sleeping with different men without protection..
Lol

Even if the result end up being that na you be the papa, but it already proves that she was a bad woman knacking another man without protection

ManknowThyself:
The DNA is important to determine if the said child was his or bastard to his name.

Welcome development to end the suspense and suspicion.

He would have save himself a lot before his death doing the DNA before naming the child.

Mohbad never deny his son and was fully with the wife until his death. The father who was wearing his sons clothes and using his son death to raise money now somehow cares about whether the son has a real child because he is looking out for his son interest.

Did Mohbad ever come out to tell the father that he suspect the child is not his? People making dirty excuses cause they want to steal money. Your own time will come. At your death your family will do worse to your wife and kids. Continue supporting this. Dem kuku de hear your views right now.
