The Elegushi of Ikate Elegushi Kingdom, Lagos State, Oba Saheed Elegushi, has reacted to the allegation that he is the father of Liam, the son of Nigeria’s late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, professionally known as Mohbad.
The allegation by some TikTok users came amid demand by Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, for a DNA test on Liam.
Mohbad’s wife, Omowunmi, has been in the news for alleged refusal to subject Liam to a DNA test since the death of the singer, also known as Imole, on September 12, 2023.
Oba Elegushi, in a statement on Thursday his media consultant, Deyemi Saka, said: “We would like to respond to a new desperate attempt at dragging His Royal Majesty, Oba Saheed Elegushi, into the needless paternity dispute over the son of Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
