Court orders DNA tests for late Mohbad's son, Liam

The Magistrate Court in Ikorodu has ordered DNA tests to be carried out on Liam Aloba, the son of the late singer, Mohbad

Magistrate Adefisoye Sonuga issued the ruling on Tuesday while delivering judgment on an application filed by Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, who sought a paternity test. Mohbad’s widow, Omowunmi Cynthia Aloba, was named as the respondent in the case.

In his application, Joseph Aloba emphasized the need to resolve the question of paternity once and for all. He stated, “There remains uncertainty regarding the paternity of Master Liam Aloba, and given the sensitivity of the matter, it is imperative that the paternity be conclusively settled.”

He also highlighted the importance of the test for the child’s welfare, noting, “Paternity is a live issue when it comes to determining the respondent’s maintenance obligations and the future of the child. The DNA test is therefore necessary to avoid further delays and prejudice.”

During the hearing, Augustine Adegbemi, counsel for the applicant, presented the motion, while Kabir Akingbolu, representing Mohbad’s widow, raised no objections. Magistrate Sonuga subsequently granted the application as requested.

“The court hereby orders that two DNA tests be conducted in accredited and recognized hospitals, one in Nigeria and the other abroad,” the magistrate ruled. “Both parties or their representatives must be present when the samples are collected.”

The case has been adjourned to November 11, 2025, for further proceedings.
