In a dramatic development surrounding the late singer Mohbad's family saga, a Magistrate Court in Nigeria has officially ordered a DNA test to be conducted on his only known son, Liam. The decision comes months after heated public debate and relentless pressure from both fans and factions within the singer’s extended family.
The ruling follows a petition filed by Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, who raised doubts about the paternity of the child after the singer's sudden and controversial death in September 2023. He insisted that confirming the child’s paternity is essential for settling inheritance and legacy matters legally.
Mohbad, born Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, left behind his partner Wunmi and their son, Liam. While Wunmi has consistently maintained that Mohbad is the biological father, the court determined that a DNA test is in the best interest of the child and will help eliminate lingering doubts.
Public interest in Mohbad’s case has remained high, with fans still demanding answers from authorities over the cause of his death and justice for any foul play. This new chapter in the case only adds to the complexity of an already emotionally charged situation.
As the DNA test proceeds in the coming weeks, Nigerians and fans of Mohbad across the world will be watching closely. Whether the results bring peace or further conflict remains to be seen. But one thing is certain—this story is far from over.
During the court session, the magistrate stated that the test should be conducted at an approved government facility in the presence of both parties or their legal representatives. The court also ordered that the process must be discreet and respectful, considering the emotional weight it carries.
This order has stirred a fresh wave of reactions on social media. Many fans expressed relief that clarity might finally come, while others criticized the timing and trauma such an ordeal could inflict on the grieving mother and child.
Some believe the DNA test is long overdue, given the inheritance implications and the unresolved circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death. Others argue that the late singer's family should focus on finding justice for his mysterious passing rather than casting aspersions on the child he publicly acknowledged.
Wunmi, through her legal team, has agreed to cooperate with the court's order, stating that she has "nothing to hide." However, she also expressed sadness over what she called a “witch-hunt fueled by greed and sensationalism.”
