Late singer, Mohbad’s widow, Omowunmi has accused her father-in-law, Joseph Aloba of delaying the DNA test of her son, Liam to resolve the paternity issue.
According to the legal team of Mohbad’s wife, Salawu Akingbolu Chambers, Mr Joseph has rejected the medical facilities she proposed for the test.

In the letter from the chambers of Wunmi’s lawyers, it was said that she objected to using UCH Ibadan, while Mr Aloba also rejected her choice of Lagoon Hospitals.
However, to find solutions, Wunmi suggested alternative facilities which are Eko Hospital and Reddington Hospital but claimed Aloba failed to respond.
“To our utter surprise however, instead of you responding to our letter of the above-quoted date, we saw Mr Taiwo Odumosu of counsel, whom we have profound respect for and Counsel to the Applicant, saying on social media that we are the ones who are not ready for the DNA, whereas that is not the case, and we are by this letter denouncing any such misrepresentation Mr. Taiwo Odumosu of counsel must have tainted us with on the social media. As a matter of fact, we deserve an apology for such unhealthy allegations,” the letter added.
Omowunmi also accused Mohbad’s father of portraying her son as a “bastard” on social media.
“We shall inform the court of our position in this regard,” her letter read.
In response, Aloba’s former legal team, Hillceetee Partners, in their response dated January 11, 2025, and signed by Emmanuel Oroko, denied allegations of misrepresentation on social media, clarifying that no statements had been made implying Omowunmi’s unwillingness to cooperate.
“Mr Odumosu wishes to inform you that there was no time during his media interaction that he mentioned that your client ‘was not ready for the DNA’. What he was saying, which has been misinterpreted, was that the hospitals had yet to respond to enquiries on their readiness to conduct the test. We heard your client express sentiment in that respect after the media interaction.
“Mr Odumosu has absolute respect for your office and your client. He would not in any way derogate the professionalism and maturity both law firms have exhibited so far while the case lasted,” the letter read.
