Magistrate Adefisoye Sonuga issued the order on Tuesday, while ruling on an application filed by the singer’s father, Joseph Aloba, who sought a paternity test.
The late Mohbad’s wife, Omowunmi Cynthia Aloba, was listed as the respondent in the application brought under the Family Court of Lagos State (Civil Procedure) 2012 and the Magistrate Courts (Civil Procedure) Rules 2009.
The application requested that samples be taken from the remains of the deceased at the Military Hospital in Yaba for use in conducting the tests, either within Lagos or in another recognised facility outside the state.
It further sought approval for a separate test to be conducted abroad at the applicant’s expense.
In court filings, Aloba argued that uncertainty about Liam’s paternity made it necessary to conclusively settle the matter, stressing its importance for maintenance obligations and the child’s welfare.
At the hearing, Aloba was represented by Augustine Adegbemi from the chambers of Dr Wahab Shittu (SAN) & Co., while Kabir Akingbolu appeared for the respondent.
The application was moved without opposition, leading the magistrate to grant the request.
The court directed that the tests be conducted in accredited hospitals in Nigeria and abroad, with both parties or their representatives present during sample collection.
The matter was adjourned to November 11, 2025, for further proceedings.
The 26-year-old singer died on September 12, 2023.
Punch
Let them be fast about it so he can rest
ReplyDeleteLet's see if shady wunmi will appeal
ReplyDelete"moved wihout opposition" =
DeleteAll parties agreed to the application.
An appeal is not likely to be made or granted if made.
I love this, let them do the DNA test and let the boy rest, I don't know what's so hard in doing DNA test that they've been dragging since.
ReplyDeletePhase 2 would most likely start after the results are released.Where there is strife and greed, all manner of evil lives there.
DeleteWay to go 🙄🙄🙄. Family matter in the public domain. 😔😔😔
ReplyDeleteGood gooder goodest.
ReplyDeleteOne thing with our judiciary system is that they make you think you'll get justice by giving you the go around then, booommmm!!!! you're back to square one 🤣
ReplyDeleteNot our judiciary. Maybe our people. Everything in Nigeria is controlled or administered by Nigerians.
DeleteTrue...that's why I don't blame people who take law into their own hands
DeleteI'm sure say by now wunmi don go run her own test tey tey.
ReplyDeleteAnd DNA on Papa Mohbad too....I want to know if he is truly his dad.....
ReplyDeleteSeconded 😂😂 we truly need to know
DeleteWhat about Mama Mohbad. You just assumed that she is his mother?
DeleteHow about you start by checking the paternity for yourself and your father. If he isn’t, it would not be his fault, it will be the mother’s infidelity. Now that’s how rational thinking works
DeleteAmen! Let Wunmi counter and require dna on him. I am for a certain he is not mOhbad's biological father.
DeleteAfter the DNA what next?
ReplyDeleteThe dna test is money grab and an attempt at character assassination. It all boils down to money.
DeleteOh finally
ReplyDeleteThat guy needs to rest 😔
Whatever the result, the real question is why was so much time (including state resources) wasted in not conceding to the test since even before it became a court matter. If it would be settled without any opposition in court.
ReplyDeleteIt is well.
ReplyDeletebest way to go.
ReplyDeleteIt's about time, so Wunmi can rest from all the draggings
ReplyDeleteNa she no wan rest before. She knows what she is running from.
DeleteAnon is right. All these would have been a thing of the past if wunmi has accepted to do DNA and tender the results. If she truly love mohbad she would have done everything in her part to make the case faster
DeleteGood
