A Magistrate Court sitting in Ikorodu has granted the order that Wunmi, the wife of the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba aka Mohbad, should take a DNA Test.
This was contained in a statement signed by a member of the legal team to the Aloba family, Monisola Odumosu.
In the application filed by the legal team to Joseph Aloba, father to the late singer, the family sought an order to serve Wunmi by posting all the originating processes and other processes in the suit on the last-known address of the respondent.
According to the statement, the legal team led by Emmanuel Oroko had argued that the sheriff had attempted twice to serve Wunmi the court process but failed.
“If the process were served on the last-known address of the respondent by Order of the Court, it would constitute good service and she would be aware of the pending suit,” it reads.
“The Chief Magistrate granted the order and ordered that the respondent be served by posting the court process on her last known address.”
The statement added that despite saying she was ready for a DNA test, Wunmi “had never been available for the court sheriff to serve her the originating motion”.
The issue of DNA has been a cause of bullying for Wunmi especially on social media with many Nigerians seeking clarity on the paternity of her child, Liam.
