Drama as Mohbad’s wife accuses his father of delaying DNA test over her son’s paternity

Omowunmi, the widow of late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has accused her father-in-law of delaying a DNA test to resolve her son’s paternity.

Kemi Filani reported last year that the Chief Magistrate Court sitting in Ikorodu had granted the order that Omowunmi needed to be served a notice of the pending DNA test application. The legal team told the court that the Sheriff of the court had attempted twice to serve Wunmi the court process but failed and the Chief Magistrate then ordered that Wunmi should be served by posting the court process on her last known address.

In an update on the case, Omowunmi, through her lawyers, said that the singer’s father has been avoiding carrying out the DNA test to prove her son’s paternity. She admitted to rejecting Mohbad’s father’s choice of the UCH Ibadan, while he also rejected her choice of Lagoon Hospitals.

Omowunmi added that they had suggested The Eko Hospital and Reddington Hospitals, however, Mohbad’s father didn’t respond.

To make it worse, Wunmi’s lawyers slammed Mohbad’s father for slandering Wunmi’s name in public by claiming she wasn’t ready for the DNA. Demanding an apology, her lawyers noted how the clergyman has been defaming his grandson, Liam by portraying him as a bastard.

Wunmi threatened to carry out the DNA test independently if his father continued to delay the matter.

The news has divided social media users.

Recall that following the singer’s death, many have been clamoring for a DNA test to be done on Liam, his son to ascertain his paternity. Even Mohbad’s father had called for DNA to be done on his son, a statement which Cynthia Morgan agreed with.

Omawunmi had told her father-in-law to get a court order for a DNA test to be done, surprisingly she made a U-turn, as she made it known that she wouldn’t be doing a DNA test for her son. Giving reasons, Omowunmi made it known that no one has the right to tell her to do it as she added that her son would never fall victim like his dad.
