A Magistrate Court sitting in Ikorodu, Lagos state on Tuesday ruled that DNA tests will be conducted on Liam Aloba, the two-year-old son of late Nigerian artiste Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
Magistrate Adefisoye Sonuga was delivering his judgment on an application filed by Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba.
Mohbad’s widow, Omowunmi Cynthia Aloba, was listed as the respondent in the suit.
When the matter came up for hearing, Joseph Aloba’s counsel, Augustine Adegbemi, moved the motion, while Omowumi’s lawyer, Kabir Akingbolu, raised no opposition.
Magistrate Sonuga subsequently ordered that two DNA tests will be conducted.
One will be done in Nigeria and the other outside the country. Both tests will be carried out in accredited and recognized hospitals, with both parties or their representatives present when the samples are collected.
