The father of Mohbad, Joseph Aloba, has dismissed claims being pushed by the legal counsel of the late singer\u2019s widow, Cynthia Wunmi<\/strong> Adebanjo<\/strong>, that he tried to manipulate the DNA process of her son, Liam Aloba.<\/p>\n Aloba stated that, contrary to the allegations, he never attempted to delay the DNA process, but rather initiated the DNA application ab initio.<\/p>\n He disclosed this in a letter issued over the weekend by his legal counsel, Oladayo Ogungbe.<\/p>\n Ogungbe stated that the recent application he filed was aimed at guaranteeing transparency, neutrality, and court-supervised integrity in the collection, handling, and analysis of DNA samples.<\/p>\n Recalling the incident that transpired during the hearing on December 2, 2025, Ogungbe stated that he directly confronted Adebanjo with credible information indicating that she had already conducted the test.<\/p>\n He said, \u201cShe did not deny the allegation when confronted before the Honourable Magistrate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n He wondered why she had not made the results public if truly she wasn\u2019t concealing some facts about the DNA process.<\/p>\n Ogungbe said: \u201cHer silence in the face of such a grave allegation raises concerns, especially because she has not released the results publicly, results which, according to information available, appeared suspicious and unfavourable, hence her refusal to disclose them. If she had full confidence in the paternity of the child, there would be no need to secretly conduct a DNA test. This act alone contradicts the narrative that she seeks transparency.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Regarding the infidelity allegations, Aloba told the Court that his late son, Ilerioluwa Aloba (Mohbad), had confided in him regarding the Respondent\u2019s alleged unfaithfulness.<\/p>\n He noted that when the issue was raised in the court, \u201cthe Respondent did not deny it as she was evasive in her response.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cMr Aloba explained that his intentions toward her were honourable and fatherly until he became aware of the troubling revelations and shortly thereafter, Mohbad died under circumstances still shrouded in secrecy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n He noted that the respondent\u2019s refusal to deny both the secret DNA test and the accusation of infidelity renders the manipulation narrative being peddled in the purported Press Release by the Respondent\u2019s Counsel inconsistent with her own conduct.<\/p>\n The Applicant\u2019s counsel therefore urged that the DNA be conducted at DNA Diagnostics Center, an internationally renowned accredited DNA Testing Laboratory Center with its headquarters in Fairfield, Ohio, United States, and ORCHID CELLMARK, an internationally renowned DNA Center situate at Unit G1 Valiant Way, i54 Business Park, Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, United Kingdom, at the expense of the Applicantoto guarantee the integrity of the result.<\/p>\n He justified his request for the DNA test to be conducted at international laboratories and for Lagos State officials to be excluded from the process, citing events that occurred during the Coroner\u2019s Inquest into the death of his son, where the result returned as inconclusive.<\/p>\n \u201cThis alarming inconsistency justifies the Applicant\u2019s insistence on transparent, internationally supervised DNA testing. Mr Aloba has repeatedly affirmed his absolute trust in the Honourable Court, but he also maintains a reasonable reservation regarding the integrity of certain State officials involved in the chain of custody of DNA samples<\/em>,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a9 2025 Abia Radio News, a division of Tee Global Innnovations [abiaradios@gmail.com].
