An Ikorodu High Court has ordered three independent DNA tests to determine the paternity of Liam, the son of late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
The fresh order was issued following complications that stalled earlier attempts to conduct the DNA test, prolonging a dispute between Mohbad’s family and his widow.
Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, appeared in court alongside his lawyer, Barrister Oladayo Ogungbe, who explained that the court-approved DNA process initially faced setbacks due to concerns over the suitability of the testing facility.
According to Ogungbe, the court agreed that to ensure transparency and credibility, three foreign-based laboratories would be used. Each party will nominate one facility, while the court will select the third. All tests will be tissue-based, and the results must align.
