Omowunmi, the widow of Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, and the late musician’s father, Joseph Aloba, have clashed over the conduct of a Deoxyribonucleic Acid test, with short form DNA, on the son of Mohbad.
The clash was contained in a letter dated January 9, 2025 by the legal representatives of Omowunmi, Salawu Akingbolu Chambers.
The letter, signed by Kabir Akingbolu, revealed that Omowunmi rejected Aloba’s choice of the UCH, Ibadan, while he also rejected her choice of Lagoon Hospitals.
It said: “We remain solicitors to the Respondent in the referenced suit and we have her express consent to write this letter to you.
“It would be recalled that we have exchanged a series of letters on the above but we seem not to be making any progress and it is sad.
“Suffice it to say that after we have duly responded to your letter dated December 5, 2024, which we received and acknowledged on December 9, 2024, we have patiently waited for your response but nothing of the sort to date.

“Although we objected to your choice of the UCH Ibadan because of the fact that the court itself observed for good reason that it is not proper after your client mentioned the same in open court.
“In the same vein, we have conceded all the same to your objection to us using Lagoon Hospitals even though no tenable reasons were given.
“Quite reasonably, in replacement, we chose two other hospitals which are: The Eko Hospital and Reddington Hospitals, just so for us to show that we absolutely have nothing to hide and this was contained in our letter of December 11, 2024.
“To our utter surprise however, instead of you responding to our letter of the above-quoted date, we saw Mr. Taiwo Odumosu of counsel, whom we have profound respect for and counsel for the Applicant, saying on social media that we are the ones who are not ready for the DNA, whereas that is not the case, and we are by this letter denouncing any such misrepresentation Mr. Taiwo Odumosu of counsel must have tainted us with on the social media. As a matter of fact, we deserve an apology for such unhealthy allegations.
“Also, and most unfortunate is the fact that we saw the Applicant on social media about three weeks ago, defaming and maligning Master Liam, and quite in his usual manner, portraying him as a bastard and this is very unacceptable, especially as the court had asked him to go and conduct the DNA that he is now obviously and quite surprisingly running away from in an irreconcilable irony. Very laughable.
“We want to ask you to promptly take steps or advise your client to do all that may be necessary to ensure the timely conduct of the DNA so that we can make progress. If your client, however, chooses to continue in this tardy manner and rather prefers the empty social media hype for bad reasons, you will leave us no other option than to conduct the DNA ourselves and publish the same for the whole world to see. We shall inform the court of our position in this regard.”
