Court finally orders Mohbad wife to do DNA test on her son Liam. The Ikorodu Chief Magistrate Court in Lagos State has granted a request for Wunmi, the widow of the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, to receive notification of the pending DNA test application through alternative channels.
This decision comes after the legal team representing the Aloba family, headed by Emmanuel Oroko, faced difficulties in personally serving Wunmi with the legal documents.
Monisola Odumosu, a member of the family’s legal team, explained in a statement that they sought approval to deliver all legal documents to Wunmi’s last known address.
Joseph Aloba, the father of the late singer, has initiated an application aimed at advancing the DNA testing procedure.
“The Chief Magistrate granted the order and ordered that the respondent be served by posting the court process on her last known address.”
“It will be recalled that the Aloba family is contesting the paternity of baby Liam and filed an application before the Family Court wherein it sought an order of the court against Wunmi to present herself and baby Liam for a DNA test at any recognized laboratory in Lagos,” the statement quoted Odumosu as saying.
The statement referred to the singer’s wife, who, in a viral video, expressed her readiness for a DNA test, emphasizing that she had never been available for the court sheriff to serve her the originating motion.
In response, Wunmi’s lawyer, Taiwo Olawanle, denied knowledge of the court order. However, Olawanle assured that once they receive the court order, compliance from Wunmi wouldn’t pose any issue.
