Nigeria Nigerians Divided as Court Orders Mohbad’s Wife to Undergo DNA Test

A Magistrate Court in Ikorodu, Lagos, has made a significant ruling regarding the paternity dispute involving the late singer Mohbad's wife, Wunmi. The court has ordered that Wunmi be served notice of a pending DNA test application by alternative means.

The decision came following an application filed by Joseph Aloba, Mohbad's father, seeking permission to serve Wunmi through substituted means after previous attempts failed. The court granted the request, instructing that all legal documents be posted to Wunmi's last known address.

The legal team representing the Aloba family, led by Emmanuel Oroko, argued that serving Wunmi in this manner would ensure she is aware of the pending suit. The court concurred, emphasizing the importance of ensuring Wunmi's awareness and participation in the legal proceedings.

This development stems from the ongoing dispute over the paternity of baby Liam. The Aloba family has petitioned the Family Court, seeking an order for Wunmi and baby Liam to undergo a DNA test at a recognized laboratory in Lagos. While reactions on social media reflect divided opinions, with some expressing support for Wunmi and others advocating for the truth to prevail, the legal process continues. The outcome of the pending DNA test will likely have significant implications for all parties involved and may bring clarity to the paternity dispute surrounding baby Liam.
