Court Orders DNA Test for Mohbad's Wife: A Legal Update

In a recent legal development surrounding the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, a Magistrate Court in the Ikorodu area of Lagos has issued an order for Mohbad's wife, Wunmi, to undergo a DNA test.

According to a statement released by a member of the legal team representing the Aloba family, Monisola Odumosu, the court has directed that Wunmi be served notice of the pending DNA test application through substituted means.

Mohbad's father, Joseph Aloba, initiated the application through the family's legal team, led by Emmanuel Oroko. The application sought an order for Wunmi to be served by posting all court documents related to the DNA test application at her last-known address.

The statement further explains that previous attempts to serve Wunmi with the court process had failed, prompting the need for alternative methods of notification. By granting the order for substituted service, the Chief Magistrate ensures that Wunmi will be made aware of the pending legal proceedings.

This development arises from the Aloba family's contestation of the paternity of baby Liam. The family has filed an application before the Family Court, requesting an order for Wunmi to present herself and baby Liam for a DNA test at a recognized laboratory in Lagos.

As this legal saga unfolds, it underscores the importance of due process and transparency in legal proceedings. The Aloba family's pursuit of a DNA test reflects their commitment to seeking clarity and resolution in matters of paternity.
