Omowunmi, the wife of the late singer Mohbad, has stated that her father-in-law, Joseph Aloba, is fully aware that Liam, her son with Mohbad, is indeed his grandchild.
In an interview with BBC Pidgin, which began trending on Monday, Omowunmi affirmed that Aloba is “100% sure” of Liam’s paternity. She explained that her decision to undergo a DNA test was to dispel misinformation in the media rather than to prove anything to him.
“I want to do the DNA test for the media that has been fed with lies, not my father-in-law. Because left to me, he is 101% sure that the child is Mohbad’s son,” she stated.
Reflecting on her grief, Omowunmi shared how deeply she misses her late husband, particularly after their son recently started school—a moment that heightened her sense of loss.
“I miss my husband with everything. My child started school, and when they wrote his name as ‘Mr. and Mrs. Aloba’s son,’ it brought back all the memories. I remember him from every angle of my life,” she said.
Last week, she also opened up about her love story with Mohbad, revealing that they first connected on the social networking platform 2go when she was 13 and he was 15.
Mohbad passed away on September 12, 2023, and was buried the following day. However, his body was exhumed on September 21 for an autopsy.
Joseph Aloba has insisted that Mohbad will not be reburied until a DNA test confirms Liam’s paternity. Meanwhile, Mohbad’s mother, Abosede, has accused Aloba of intentionally delaying the test.
