Mr Aloba says that the remains of late Mohbad who passed way on September 27, 2023, will not be laid to rest until a DNA test is done to determine Liam's paternity.
The Ikorodu High Court in Lagos State has ordered three DNA tests to be carried out abroad to establish the paternity of Liam, the child left behind by the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad.
Liam's parternity has been disputed on several occassions by Joseph Aloba, the father of the late singer.
Mr Aloba says that the remains of late Mohbad who passed way on September 27, 2023, will not be laid to rest until a DNA test is done to determine Liam's paternity.
At the resumed hearing of the paternity case between Mr Aloba and Wunmi, the singer's widow, on Tuesday, February 3, counsel to Mr Aloba, Barrister Oladayo Ogungbe, said the court has now ruled that three different DNA tests must be conducted abroad.
According to Ogungbe, the court directed Mr Aloba's level team to suggest three different facilities abroad where the DNA tests will be conducted. The same was option was given to Wunmi’s team also.
He said the court would later select one each from the three each team provided and then proffer one center abroad where a DNA test will also be conducted. In all, three tests are expected to be carried out.
He mentioned that the court also ruled that all facilities must be able to carry out tissue-based DNA tests.
The matter has been adjourned to February 10.
