The widow of the late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, widely known as Mohbad, Wunmi, has clarified that her husband never doubted the paternity of their son during his lifetime.
Reports state that there have been demands from the deceased’s father, Joseph Aloba, and concerned individuals for a DNA test to be carried out on Mohbad’s son, Liam, to establish his true paternity.
Wunmi had previously expressed her willingness to undergo a DNA test on her son, stating that it should be conducted both in Nigeria and abroad.
However, in a recent series of Instagram posts, Mohbad’s widow asserted that those advocating for a DNA test on Liam were unjustly targeting the late singer’s son by branding him as “illegitimate.”
She conveyed that the push for a DNA test on their son brought her to tears and caused her distress.
Wunmi wrote, “The DNA issue is one that has brought tears to my eyes and pain to my heart, and my legal team has advised me not to dignify anyone with a response. However, I feel compelled to address the misconceptions arising from my silence.
“Let me clarify, there has never been any doubt or discussion about Liam’s paternity until my husband’s demise. It is disheartening to hear false narratives circulating on social media. My husband never for once questioned the paternity of our Sonshine during his lifetime, neither did my father-in-law or his families.
“The first time I heard about his doubt was on social media. He never spoke to me personally about the DNA till this very day. My father-in-law’s legal team reached out to my legal team, who then gave him the terms and conditions in which the DNA will be conducted.”
She implored the public to appeal to her father-in-law to seek a court order for the DNA test to proceed.
