A Magistrate Court in Ikorodu, Lagos, has ordered DNA tests on Liam Aloba, the two-year-old son of the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, fondly called Mohbad.
The ruling was delivered on Tuesday, the 2nd of September, 2025, Magistrate Adefisoye Sonuga after hearing an application brought before the court by Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba.
In the matter, Mohbad’s widow, Omowunmi Cynthia Aloba, was named as the respondent.
During the hearing, Joseph Aloba’s lawyer, Augustine Adegbemi, presented the motion. Counsel to Omowunmi, Kabir Akingbolu, did not oppose the application.

The case has been adjourned to the 11th of November, 2025.
