The family of the late Afro-pop star, Ilerioluwa Aloba, professionally known as Mohbad, has revealed it has requested a court mention of a DNA test application on his son, Liam.
This demand was contained in a statement by the head of Aloba’s legal team, Monisola Odumosu, on Monday.
According to Odumosu, all necessary legal apparatus is in place to ensure the success of the matter.
The statement disclosed: “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 (DNA) 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.
“The family also sought an order directing Mrs. Omowunmi Cynthia Aloba to submit herself and Master Liam Aloba for the DNA test at any recognised and accredited government or private medical facility within Lagos State, Nigeria, at the expense of the applicant, and an order granting leave to the Chief Medical Officer/Chief Pathologist in charge of the remains of Mr. Ilerioluwa Promise Oladimeji Aloba (deceased) presently at the Military Hospital Yaba Lagos to take samples of the body of the deceased to conduct a DNA test for Master Liam Aloba.”
In the same vein, the legal team assured those seeking justice for Mohbad to hold their breath as they are doing their best to ensure that no stone is left unturned to achieve justice in this case.
All attempts to serve the court process on Wunmi Aloba on Friday at her Lekki. Lagos State home were abortive as the process server said those from whom enquiries were made to serve the process on her claimed she had not been seen in the house recently.
However, the legal team further urged agitated on social media to continue to hold on to peace, which is the symbol the late Mohbad stood for.
