Omowunmi, widow of singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba aka Mohbad, has agreed to a Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) test to determine the paternity of their only son, Liam.

Mohbad d!ed on September 12, 2024 under controversial circumstances and was buried in the Ikorodu area of Lagos the next day.

However, his corpse was exhumed for autopsy following public outcry for an investigation into his death.

The late singer’s father, Joseph Aloba, later filed a suit seeking a DNA test for his grandson.

In the application filed by the legal team to Joseph, the family sought an order to serve Wunmi by posting all the originating processes and other processes in the suit on the last-known address of the respondent.

The family’s legal team led by Emmanuel Oroko, however, argued that attempts to serve Wunmi failed

The Magistrates Court, during its sitting on July 9, 2024, in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State, directed both parties to explore an alternative dispute resolution, leading to closed-door negotiations that also failed to yield an agreement.

In a statement obtained by Punch on Sunday, October 27, 2024, a representative of the family’s legal team, Monisola Odumosu, stated that Wunmi had agreed to carry out the DNA.

Odumosu added that this was followed by the settlement terms drafted by both parties.
