DNA: Mohbad’s Father Confirms Plastering Court Order On Wunmi’s Gate

Joseph Aloba, the late singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, also known as Mohbad, has stated that he served a notice of the pending DNA test application on his son’s wife, Wunmi, using a substituted method.

According to PUNCH Metro, the ruling was given by the Ikorodu Chief Magistrate Court on Monday of last week.

Monisola Odumosu, the Aloba family’s lawyer, told our correspondent on Friday that the notice was posted at Wunmi’s last known residence earlier that day.

Odumosu said, “The law required that an application to use other legal means to effect service on the respondent be adopted. So as a result of the order granted by the court in this regard, we have served the notice and it was posted at her last known address on Friday morning.”

“We expect her to be in court or his legal representation on May 14, 2024,” the lawyer added.

The Aloba family, represented by Mohbad’s father, filed a lawsuit demanding a DNA test for his grandson, Liam.

The family requested a court order requiring that the test be performed in a recognized and approved government or private medical institution inside the state at the applicant’s expense.

It also requested an order requiring Wunmi to submit herself and Master Liam Aloba for DNA testing.

The family’s suit also requested an order providing leave to the chief pathologist in charge of Mohbad’s remains, which are now housed at the Military Hospital in Yaba Lagos, to collect samples from the deceased’s corpse in order to run a DNA test for Liam.

The family’s lawyer, however, claimed that an effort to serve the court procedure on Mohbad’s wife on Friday, March 8, at her Lekki residence was unsuccessful.

Mohbad died at the age of 27, on September 12, 2023, and the circumstances surrounding his death sparked debate on social media.
