Omowunmi Aloba, the wife of the late Nigerian recording artiste, Mohbad who is better known as Ilerioluwa Aloba has been ordered to carryout to a DNA test to determine the paternity of their one-year-old son.

A Magistrate Court sitting in the Ikorodu area of Lagos has ordered that singer late Mohbad’s wife, Wunmi, be served notice of a pending DNA test application, by substituted means.

A statement signed by a member of the legal team to the Aloba family, Monisola Odumosu, disclosed this on Wednesday, April 17.

• Wunmi, Mohbad’s widow breaks silence, says, “DNA test is a must”
• Nollywood actress, Wunmi Toriola part ways with husband 
• Paternity Fraud: Blessing CEO, controversial relationship expert says fathers should accept child regardless of DNA result
• Mohbad: Father of late musician demands DNA test for grandson

Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, in the application filed by the legal team to the family sought an order to serve Wunmi by posting all the originating processes and other processes in the suit on the last-known address of the respondent.

The statement revealed that the legal team led by Emmanuel Oroko had argued that the sheriff had attempted twice to serve Wunmi the court process but failed.

“If the process were served on the last-known address of the respondent by Order of the Court, it would constitute good service and she would be aware of the pending suit.

The Chief Magistrate granted the order and ordered that the respondent be served by posting the court process on her last known address.

It will be recalled that the Aloba family is contesting the paternity of baby Liam and filed an application before the Family Court wherein it sought an order of the court against Wunmi to present herself and baby Liam for a DNA test at any recognised laboratory in Lagos,” Odumosu said.
