The wife of late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji, more commonly called MohBad, Omowunmi Aloba has stated that all she wants is justice for her husband.
Omowunmi, who made this known in a chat with Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, asserted that it was a must to conduct a DNA test to prove the paternity of her six-month-old son, Liam.
She revealed that conducting the test was no longer an option but a necessity, adding that she was ready to share her side of the story with the world.
According to her, she initially decided not to say anything on the development to avoid distractions and give the police ample time to conduct an investigation into the death of her late husband, stating that getting justice is the most important thing for her.
She said, “I’ve decided not to speak on anything until 7th of November which is the coroner inquest because I do not want any side distraction; all I want is justice for my husband which I believe the Nigerian government is working on, after everything I’ll either grant an interview or tell my own story before the whole world, and also DNA is definitely a must.”
Joseph Aloba, the father of the late MohBad, had explained why he wanted the Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of his deceased child’s son, Liam, to be done in his presence.
Aloba had mentioned the need to clear the heated controversy among Nigerians about the paternity of the child and other surrounding issues between the former Marlian singer and his wife.
In an interview with Stams TV, the late singer’s father also emphasised the importance of the test while discrediting the rumour about the DNA being done in a post made by popular skit maker, OGBCultist, who is believed to be Mohbad’s friend.
He also proposed that the test be conducted at two different hospitals to ensure the accuracy of the results.
Aloba said, “Concerning the DNA test, it’s a must they do it. Nigerians are demanding it. I heard rumours that they did it, but no matter what, I’m Mohbad’s father, so I’ll give consent to the DNA test or send anyone who can represent me during the test if I’m not there to know how they’ll do it. And even when they want to do it, it should be done in two different places so we can be very sure and know the truth.
“Also, where I am from in Ikere Ekiti, even Olu of Ikere just left my side now after visiting me. We don’t accept bastards where I’m from, but it will be a thing of joy for me if this child is Mohbad’s because this is the only child he said he left for me. Three days before his death, I was with him, he even served me food, and he put Liam on my hands, and he was taking pictures.”
He added that he was also interested in the police rounding off their investigation process so that the burial rites of his late child would be done.
MohBad died on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27, and his death sparked controversies leading to nationwide protests among Nigerians with his former label boss, Azeez Fashola, aka Naira Marley, and his associate, Samson Balogun, aka Sam Larry named among the five prime suspects.
