Court to Oversee Mohbad’s Son’s DNA Test as Paternity Dispute Continues

A court in Lagos will supervise the examination of a DNA sample from the son of the late Nigerian singer Mohbad, as the paternity dispute between his family and the boy's mother continues.

According to THISDAYLIVE, a court in Lagos will oversee the examination of a DNA sample from the son of the late Nigerian singer Mohbad, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, as a prolonged paternity dispute between his family and the boy’s mother, Esther, continues. The court’s involvement comes as Mohbad’s family has questioned the paternity of the child, known as Liam, who was born shortly after the singer’s death in a car accident in January 2026. The report does not specify when the DNA test will take place, nor does it name the court overseeing the examination. This development in the paternity dispute is significant, as it could help resolve the controversy surrounding the late singer’s only child. The case highlights the complexities that can arise in determining paternity in Nigeria, where DNA testing is not always readily available or easily accessible. As the story unfolds, we will continue to monitor updates on this sensitive matter.
