Court rules on Mohbad DNA dispute
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Wunmi, the widow of late singer Mohbad, shared a court update on her father-in-law Joseph Aloba's demands for a DNA test to verify the paternity of her son Liam.
Joseph Aloba insisted on two specific hospitals abroad for the test, claiming they alone could provide reliable results. Wunmi accused him of trying to influence the outcome.
The court ruled that it would select its own hospitals for the test, ordered Joseph Aloba to cover all costs since he had requested it, and required both parties to attend.
