My father-in-law wants DNA result to be negative — Mohbad’s widow

n n

Omowunmi Aloba, the widow of late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba known as Mohbad, has claimed that her father-in-law, Joseph Aloba, wants the DNA test involving her son to return a negative result.

n

Speaking in a now-circulating interview on Channels TV, Omowunmi alleged that the conflict between both families began before Mohbad’s death and stemmed from internal family disputes.

n

“Yeah, we used to be best of friends. So I think we fell out, I think it was after I had my child,” she said.

n

According to her, disagreements surrounding Liam’s naming ceremony and unresolved family issues escalated over time.

n

“It was after I had Liam, because of the naming ceremony issues, and the fact that my husband forgave his mother. It was just a family feud that became something very big,” she stated.

n

Omowunmi argued that many people mistakenly assume the rift began only after Mohbad’s death.

n

“A lot of people online feel like it’s all about the demise of my husband. But in reality, it is because of the family feud that we had before the demise of my husband,” she added.

n

The late singer’s widow further alleged that shortly after Mohbad’s death, her father-in-law focused discussions on the singer’s properties and royalties.

n

“I literally placed a call to him because I was tensed and scared. He wasn’t saying what I needed to hear. He was just talking about my husband’s property and all of that,” she claimed.

n

She further alleged that Joseph Aloba wants the DNA outcome to disprove Liam’s paternity.

n

“What he actually wants can never happen. He actually wants the DNA of my child to be negative,” she said.

n

Omowunmi added that the situation has deteriorated to the point where reconciliation may no longer be possible.

n

“It has really got to a point that I don’t think this whole family feud can be settled anymore,” she stated.

n

Mohbad died on September 12, 2023, under controversial circumstances at the age of 27.

n

His death sparked nationwide outrage, protests and multiple investigations, including court proceedings, autopsy reviews and ongoing disputes surrounding the paternity of his son, Liam.

n

PUNCH Online had reported that Mohbad’s body was exhumed for autopsy following public demands for justice, while legal battles over DNA testing, inheritance, royalties and the circumstances surrounding his death have continued into 2026.

n

Joseph Aloba has repeatedly insisted on a DNA test to determine Liam’s paternity before the singer’s final burial, while Omowunmi has maintained that she has never opposed the test and insists Liam is Mohbad’s biological son.
