The Chief Magistrate Court in Ikorodu has granted approval to serve a DNA test notice regarding the late singer Ileriouluwa Oladimeji Aloba, also known as Mohbad‘s son, to his wife, Wumi, at her last known address.
The decision came after Emmanuel Oroko, leading the legal team for the Aloba family, informed the court that attempts to deliver the court documents for the DNA test on her son by the Sheriff had failed twice.
Consequently, the Chief Magistrate directed that Wunmi be served by posting the court documents at her last known address.
This information was disclosed in a statement signed by Monoplane Odumosu, a member of the legal team representing the Aloba family, and obtained by PUNCH, a news outlet in Nigeria.
Odumosu mentioned, “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, seeking an order of the court against Wunmi to present herself and baby Liam for a DNA test at any recognized laboratory in Lagos,” the statement added.
MohBad, whose birth name was Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, gained recognition as a Nigerian rapper, singer, and songwriter from Lagos. He initially rose to prominence under Naira Marley’s Marlian Records but parted ways with the label in 2022.
MohBad and his spouse, Omawunmi, welcomed their son in April 2023. Tragically, MohBad passed away at the age of 27 on September 12, 2023, following treatment for an infection administered by an unlicensed nurse, who was subsequently apprehended.
