Omowunmi, the widow of the late singer Mohbad (Ilerioluwa Aloba), has alleged that her father-in-law, Joseph Aloba, is causing a delay in the DNA test intended to resolve the paternity issue surrounding her son, Liam.

The ongoing disagreement took a new twist when Omowunmi’s legal team, Salawu Akingbolu Chambers, accused Mr. Aloba of refusing her suggested medical facilities for the DNA test.

In a letter dated January 9, 2025, Omowunmi’s legal team stated that while she had objections to using UCH Ibadan, Mr. Aloba also rejected her selection of Lagoon Hospitals for the DNA test.

In an attempt to resolve the issue, Omowunmi proposed alternative facilities—Eko Hospital and Reddington Hospital—but claimed that Mr. Aloba did not respond to her suggestions.

The legal dispute began after the Magistrates Court in Ikorodu, Lagos State, instructed both parties to pursue alternative dispute resolution methods.

The court also ordered that the DNA test be carried out at a facility mutually agreed upon by both sides, under supervision.

Omowunmi voiced her frustration over the ongoing delays, warning that she would proceed with the DNA test independently if the issue was not resolved.

“To our utter surprise however, instead of you responding to our letter of the above-quoted date, we saw Mr Taiwo Odumosu of counsel, whom we have profound respect for and Counsel to the Applicant, saying on social media that we are the ones who are not ready for the DNA, whereas that is not the case, and we are by this letter denouncing any such misrepresentation Mr. Taiwo Odumosu of counsel must have tainted us with on the social media. As a matter of fact we deserve an apology for such unhealthy allegations,” the letter added.

She also expressed her distress over Mohbad’s father defaming her son on social media, branding him as a “bastard.”

“We shall inform the court of our position in this regard,” her letter read.

In reply, Aloba’s former legal team, Hillceetee Partners, issued a statement on January 11, 2025, signed by Emmanuel Oroko. They denied the allegations of misrepresentation on social media, clarifying that no statements had been made suggesting Omowunmi’s unwillingness to cooperate.

“Mr Odumosu wishes to inform you that there was no time during his media interaction that he mentioned that your client ‘was not ready for the DNA’. What he was saying, which has been misinterpreted, was that the hospitals had yet to respond to enquiries on their readiness to conduct the test. We heard your client express sentiment in that respect after the media interaction.

“Mr Odumosu has absolute respect for your office and your client. He would not in any way derogate the professionalism and maturity both law firms have exhibited so far while the case lasted,”
the letter read.

However, the legal team also announced their decision to withdraw from representing Aloba in the case.
