Joseph Aloba, Mohbad’s father, has reiterated that a DNA
test must be conducted to determine the paternity of Liam, the child of the
late singer.
Aloba took to his Instagram page on Friday to claim that
before his son’s death on September 12, 2023, Mohbad had confided in him about
instances of infidelity by his partner Omowunmi.
He alleged that Mohbad accused Omowunmi of drugging his food
to make him sleep, after which she would allegedly meet with another man.
According to him, it was this alleged infidelity that caused
Mohbad to call off plans for a formal wedding, as the couple had only undergone
an introduction ceremony.
“I saw Wunmi with my son, and she said she was pregnant. As
a responsible Yoruba man, I felt it was time for me to know the family of the
lady I have been seeing my son with. I told my son, and he reluctantly obeyed,”
he said.
“I was in shock when I got to the event, and I saw that they
had already sewn my own attire for me.
“My son then promised that he would do a proper wedding
ceremony with her after she delivered her baby.
A few months after she had delivered the baby, my son told
me he would not marry Omowunmi because he caught her sleeping with another man.
“He told me he also caught his wife putting pills inside
noodles for him to sleep off, and she went to another man’s room to have sex.
He told me it was the other man’s girlfriend who caught them and came to tell
him.”
Mohbad’s death, which occurred after an injection
administered by an auxiliary nurse, sparked a national outcry.
He was initially buried the following day, but his body was
exhumed on September 21, 2023, for an autopsy as part of the police
investigation.
The investigation hit a significant roadblock in May 2024
when pathologists revealed the cause of death could not be determined due to
the body’s advanced decomposition.
Throughout this period, Aloba has maintained a firm stance:
a DNA test must be conducted to prove Liam’s paternity before his son can be
reburied.
His efforts culminated in a September ruling from a
magistrate’s court in Ikorodu, Lagos, which granted his request and ordered the
test to be carried out at a government-approved facility.
However, the path to the test has been fraught with
accusations.
In October, Omowunmi alleged that, despite securing the
court order, Aloba was actively working to frustrate and manipulate the DNA
process.
The dispute reached a new level of formality when Mohbad’s
family recently issued a statement formally prohibiting Omowunmi from using
their surname until the court-ordered DNA test confirms Liam’s paternity.
