The Magistrates’ Court in Ikorodu on Tuesday directed that DNA tests be carried out on Liam Aloba, the son of the late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
Magistrate Adefisoye Sonuga granted the order following an application by Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, who sought to confirm the child’s paternity. The late singer’s wife, Omowunmi Cynthia Aloba, was listed as the respondent in the case.
The court ordered that two DNA tests be conducted in accredited hospitals — one in Nigeria and another abroad. It further ruled that both parties or their representatives must be present when samples are taken.
Joseph Aloba had argued that uncertainty about Liam’s paternity made the test necessary, citing its importance for the child’s welfare and maintenance issues.
The matter has been adjourned until November 11, 2025 for further proceedings.
