Thursday, February 5, 2026 - The Ikorodu High Court in Lagos state has ordered three DNA tests to be conducted abroad to determine the paternity of Liam, the child late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba aka Mohbad, left behind.
Liam's parternity has been disputed on several occassions by
Joseph Aloba, the father of the late singer. Mr Aloba says that the remains of
late Mohbad who passed way on September 27, 2023, will not be laid to rest
until a DNA test is done to determine Liam's paternity.
At the resumed hearing of the paternity case between Mr
Aloba and Wunmi, the singer's widow, on Tuesday, February 3, counsel to Mr
Aloba, Barrister Oladayo Ogungbe, said the court has now ruled that three
different DNA tests must be conducted abroad.
According to Ogungbe, the court directed Mr Aloba's level
team to suggest three different facilities abroad where the DNA tests will be
conducted. The same was option was given to Wunmi’s team also. He said the
court would later select one each from the three each team provided and then
proffer one center abroad where a DNA test will also be conducted. In all,
three tests are expected to be carried out. He mentioned that the court also
ruled that all facilities must be able to carry out tissue-based DNA tests.
The matter has been adjourned to February 10.
