Court fixes date to hear suit by Mohbad’s father seeking DNA test for grandson, Liam

The Magistrates’ Court in Ikorodu, Lagos State, is slated to hear a lawsuit requesting a Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) test for Liam, the son of the late musician Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad.

The court will look at the complaint brought by Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, to discover Liam’s biological father.

Monisola Odumosu, a member of the family’s legal team, confirmed the news in a statement.

In the announcement headlined ‘Aloba family seeks court order for DNA test on Liam,’ Odumosu stated that everything required legal gear was in place to ensure the case’s success.

He stated that Aloba was seeking an order from the court directing that the test be conducted in a recognised and accredited government or private medical facility within the state at the expense of the applicant.

The statement read, “A date has been fixed for mention of the DNA test application requested by the family of the late ace pop singer, Mr Ilerioluwa Promise Oladimeji Aloba (also known as Mohbad), who died September 12, 2023, in an unusual circumstance. All necessary legal apparatus are (sic) in place to see to the success of the matter.

“The application is at the Family Court of the Ikorodu Magistrate Court (MKD/31/FAM/2024), Joseph Aloba v Cynthia Omowunmi Aloba. The family, represented by the deceased father, is seeking an order of the court directing that a deoxyribonucleic acid test be conducted concerning the paternity of Master Liam Aloba, an alleged son of Mr Ilerioluwa Promise Oladimeji Aloba (deceased), in a recognised and accredited government or private medical facility within Lagos State, Nigeria at the expense of the applicant.”

According to Odumosu, the family also requested an order instructing Mrs Omowunmi Aloba to submit herself and Master Liam Aloba for DNA testing.

Meanwhile, the statement added that an effort to serve the court process on Mohbad’s wife on Friday, March 8, at her Lekki residence was unsuccessful.

“According to the process server, those from whom enquiries were made to serve the process on her said she had not been seen in the house recently. The legal team has said they will look at an alternative method to ensure that all the court processes are legally served on her,” it added.

Mohbad died at the age of 27, causing controversy on social media.
