It still won’t stop Wunmi from inheriting Mohbad unfortunately. Wise thing for the father should have been to make peace with all so he can get something since his son had no will. But everyone will learn a lesson with this case.

So if it were to be you, you will choose money over knowing that your acclaimed grand son is not a member of the family. I spit.

Ok. After knowing, now what? Wunmi still gets her husbands property.

By the way, there are many men with no sperm who agree with their wives quietly to go and get children or men who adopt because they are infertile. What about them? So when they die the extended family should shun and disinherit their children? This thing you people are pushing has far reaching consequences for a lot of people. You never know what people agree to in their marriage which is why court focuses on spouses and not extended family members.

We are talking about DNA test which Wunmi has refused not any property. You think if the test shows that The boy is not Mohbad' son, she will still have access to the property? You must be joking. The test will open door for more litigations if you dont know. The only way out for her is if child is for the late singer.

Come on. We all know why the father is asking for DNA. DNA test will not open door for anything. Wunmi was his spouse, yes, she inherits every thing.

I am beginning to talk in circles but wait and see where this will end. Social media will only gossip and nothing will happen. If you can read, you already can see what the outcome will be. 2mch out!

Okay l hear you.

Omoawoke:
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

the tin tire me o I never see dis kine woman b4 wey dey fear dna

2mch:
Lagos law does not care about your feelings on the matter.

Everything on this case is on Mohbad's death not inheritance. Stop the arrogant show of foollishness.

He didn't reject his son when he was alive and he did not ask for DNA when he was alive

Deepspirituals:
. What is this one Saying ..No one is Dragging the Dead ,It's about the Child ...it's Wrong for a Woman to Bring in Pregnancy that doesn't belong to the Late Musician..It Must be Verified .It's The Biy is his son Fine if Not the Wan and the Child should go where they Belong ,Simple.

Who's paying for it

2mch:
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.

If the test came out and child is not Mohbad's son so what happens complete for me

It will only provide content for you so you can make money and spend idle time gossiping online.

As a Yoruba, any child born by your wife is your child. The child does not even belong to you but your family compound. DNA is actually irrelevant.

Let's say the DNA is negative then the wife can say it was an agreement with the husband. Is a child through a sperm donor not your child? The child still belongs to the compound of the man according to Yoruba culture. Any child born by a Queen is a member of the royal compound and can become King in future regardless of the origin of the sperm. The child belongs to Mohbad

In the olden days a bastard child was determined by divination and you can still be a bastard with the right DNA

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.

There was never a time mohbad doubted the paternity of his son

It's the father of mohbad that doubted it adter Mohbad’s death claiming it will give clues to what killed mohabd

Ordering foreign DNA testing is quite unusual but not unlawful under Nigerian law.

Nigerian courts have broad discretion over evidence, especially in sensitive inheritance or paternity disputes involving a deceased person, and courts typically rely on local, accredited forensic and medical laboratories, particularly in Lagos and Abuja. In a few cases I have referred to the list of DNA centers below, relying more on the DNA Testing and Forensic Centre at 48 Broad Street - which by the way is run by LASG.

There is no established precedent making foreign DNA testing a standard requirement. Asking for foreign labs may be viewed as excessive, costly, and potentially prejudicial, unless the court is persuaded that local facilities cannot meet evidentiary or chain of custody standards. Which I disagree with. Nigerian appellate decisions emphasize practicality, proportionality, and access to justice.

In the Davido paternity matter, DNA testing was handled using Nigerian laboratories, and Nigerian courts generally rely on local accredited facilities for such disputes. There is no well known Nigerian legal precedent that makes foreign DNA testing a standard requirement in domestic paternity cases., is Mohbad's estate worth more than Davido's?

Is there something else going on here?

pejuakinab:
Wunmi will not be happy at this judgement.
Oka ti fo.
Many of the nairalanders typing may not be original child in their homes if DNA is a free for all thing.

Wunmi actually wanted the court to supervise the DNA

Baba mohbad argued that he should be allowed to carry out independent test which the court struck out
As it stands

No one should complain after the results are read

All parties submitted hospitals including thr court

Such laws won't be followed in Yoruba land. Which wife have you ever seen to inherit everything in such a manner in Yoruba land? It does not happen whether the law says so or not

Good development for justice and peace of the child for future not today.

Maybe not in Lagos. When your father dies, who will inherit him? His brother and sisters? I come from Lagos and yes, the wives and kids inherit everything as stipulated by law except the deceased left a will, willing property to family members.

Somebody who is not a party to the marriage has no locus standi to demand a DNA test for a child and a child inside a pregnant woman is automatically owned by the husband

pejuakinab:
That she should submit Liam for test

lolz, she never said she won't submit liam for test

Wunmi said the court rejected the request and struck out the application, ruling that the test must be conducted in two neutral and independent hospitals where neither party has personal interests.

She noted that this was part of the reason the process has dragged on, stressing that she remains ready to comply with the court’s directive once neutral facilities are chosen

The property goes to the children first. If they are young it can be held in trust by relatives until they are old enough. That is the traditional way. Wives are taken care of by their children or by the man's relatives. No matter the law on ground, it will not be possible to hand over a dead man's estate to his wife in Yoruba land.

It does

Where there is no WILL...properties go to wife n children

Relatives are outsider

Stanley will come visit u to make u his baby mama if the child is not mohbad's son

Naustine:
No matter how this pendulum swings after the tests. When that boy finally grows up this will hurt and hunt him all Through his lifetime

I heard the mother got pregnant barely 10 months of the guy's death, that's why she stopped coming on social media to seek for media Justice, well the DNA is very important, she should have nothing to fear about DNA. Since it's mandatory to do Genotype and blood group test, DNA should be made mandatory amd it's price sliced down by government

femi4:

What if the man had no children?. Traditionally among the Yoruba, spouses don't inherit from each other and people still find a way around any law to respect that.

Wrong

Well, sorry but all my relatives our mothers have all their husband property. The law backed them up in Lagos. Even the ones that the husband died very young. Family members should ensure they fight for their own survival or make sure the deceased include them in their will otherwise, o ti lor! The wife is an adult and capable to taking care of her kids. Why will the law put her at the mercy of greedy family members? This is only valid at a time when there was no unified law. Now, there is.

What the mothers have is for the children. If they are sharing any estate in the traditional way, it will only be for the children. You can give anything to your wife while alive but estate sharing after death is for the children

Will you dream that somebody like Mohbad father be put over your kids as a trustee? The only time that is done is if the deceased put that in a will or the children are orphans, that means both of their parents are not alive and they are minor.

Forget any stupid law this is not Europe....

DNA must be DONE...WHY ARE U WOMEN AGAINST DNA?.... WHY ARE U WOMEN AFRAID?

If the money is much, it does not have to be only him. He is not the only one in the family
