A paternity dispute involving the late Nigerian comedian and broadcaster Gbenga Adeboye has resurfaced more than two decades after his passing, with his sister publicly calling for DNA tests on the three children of his widow, Omolara.
The row was ignited after Omolara appeared on the Kasnaty Show, where she alleged that members of her late husband's family abandoned her following his death and interfered with property he left behind. She specifically accused Adeboye's brother, Femi, of taking documents connected to a house the comedian had built, claiming Femi later said he passed them on to the family head.

Sayo Adeboye's allegations
The comedian's sister, Sayo Adeboye, fired back during an interview on Baba Olomi TV, which was subsequently shared on YouTube. Sayo disputed Omolara's version of events and went further, alleging that her brother made a startling disclosure during his final illness.
"Brother Gbenga told Bro Femi that Igwe was his only son, but my brother did not come out openly to say it," she claimed.
Sayo then issued a direct challenge to Omolara, calling on her to allow the children to undergo DNA testing.
"Lara, go and repent. Jesus is coming soon. We need DNA tests; we need to know the real biological child," she said.
It is important to note that no DNA evidence has been produced to support Sayo's claims, and the allegations remain unsubstantiated at this stage.
The dispute has drawn renewed attention to the family of Gbenga Adeboye, who was a beloved figure in Nigerian entertainment and broadcasting before his death. The two sides appear to hold sharply conflicting accounts of what transpired both during his illness and in the years that followed his passing.
Born on 30 September 1959 in Ode-Omu, Osun state, Gbenga Adeboye became famous through his radio programmes and performances, earning aliases like Alhaji Pastor Oluwo and Abefe.
