Joseph Aloba, father of the late Nigerian artist Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has raised questions about the paternity of Liam, Mohbad’s son, insisting on a DNA test to confirm the relationship.
In a recent interview with Silverbird TV, Aloba expressed his frustrations over the lack of contact from Mohbad’s wife, Wunmi, and their son, Liam, since the singer’s tragic death.
He criticized the absence of communication, asserting that they should have reached out to him.
“I’ve not seen Mohbad’s wife and son since his death. Even my son, Adura, none of them came to me. They know where I’m living. They are supposed to come to me. The way I’m looking at things, they are supposed to bring that child to me and say, ‘This is your grandson,’” Aloba lamented.
When asked if Liam resembles Mohbad, Aloba firmly responded, “No, no, no. With what I’m seeing, he’s not. If the DNA says he is, it’s acceptable.”
He revealed that he had requested a DNA test to settle the matter, but the process has been delayed.
“I demanded DNA; they are supposed to say, ‘Daddy, do it at your convenient time,’ but they have been hiding it. So, it became a public matter. Let the court have the final say concerning it. I’ll know exactly what to do from there,” he stated.
Adding to his frustrations, Aloba shared that his other son, Adura, who lived with Mohbad before his death, has also distanced himself.
“Adura is now 22 years old, but he never called me or came to my house since his brother’s death. It’s like some people are covering him. We used to be together, but something separated us after Mohbad’s death.
“Adura is supposed to fill me in on exactly what happened to his brother; they were living in the same house. He is supposed to know,” Aloba explained.
