Omowunmi, the widow of Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has accused Joseph Aloba, the late singer’s father, of evading a DNA test to resolve the paternity dispute of her son.
The Magistrates Court in Ikorodu, Lagos State, had previously directed both parties to explore alternative dispute resolution, but negotiations failed. Joseph Aloba initiated the legal suit seeking the DNA test for his grandson.
Omowunmi’s legal team stated that while she agreed to the test, disputes arose over the choice of facilities, with both parties rejecting each other’s preferred hospitals. Omowunmi suggested Eko and Reddington Hospitals for transparency, but her proposals received no response.
Her lawyers expressed disappointment, accusing Aloba of delaying the process and making defamatory statements about her son on social media. They warned that they might proceed independently if the delays persist.
In response, Aloba’s legal team denied allegations of social media comments and announced their withdrawal from representing him in the matter.
The paternity dispute remains unresolved as tensions between both sides escalate.
