Omowunmi, the widow of late Nigerian singer Mohbad, has recently agreed to conduct a DNA test to establish the paternity of her son, Liam. This is following a court dispute initiated by Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba. Initially, there were attempts to resolve the matter privately, but talks failed due to external factors, prompting the legal team to continue with formal proceedings.
The court then mandated that the DNA test should be performed at a government-approved facility within Lagos, with Joseph Aloba agreeing to cover all costs associated with the test.
The legal teams ultimately reached a settlement, which was formalized in court, allowing the paternity test to proceed. The court appointed officials to monitor the process to ensure transparency.
This legal battle, along with other investigations into the mysterious circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death in September 2023, has drawn significant public interest and scrutiny, particularly around claims of suppression of evidence and delays in proceedings.
