Mrs Aloba was also formally named in the application as Mohbad's legal wife and the mother of his only surviving child, Master Liam Aloba.

She stated that public announcements were placed in two national newspapers in November 2025 to avoid any fraudulent or unauthorised attempts to claim the estate.

Her legal team emphasised that the notice remains valid in court records and must be followed until the estate is properly administered and expressed confidence that no illegal claims will be allowed.

At the same time, the deceased's lawful wife and son remain alive.
