Joseph Aloba, father of the late singer Mohbad, strongly denied manipulating Liam’s DNA test. Claims came from Cynthia Wunmi Adebanjo, Mohbad’s widow. Her legal counsel made the accusations.

Mr. Aloba stated he did not delay the DNA process. Instead, he initiated the application himself. His legal representative, Oladayo Ogungbe, shared this in a letter over the weekend.

Allegations of Secret DNA Test and Withheld Results

Ogungbe clarified his recent court application. It aims for transparency and neutrality. He seeks court supervision for DNA sample collection, handling, and analysis. He recalled a significant event from the December 2, 2025, hearing.

During the hearing, Ogungbe confronted Adebanjo. He had credible information she already did a DNA test. “She did not deny the allegation when confronted before the Honourable Magistrate,” he stated.

Ogungbe questioned Adebanjo’s silence. Why had she not made the results public? Her silence raised concerns. Information available suggested the results were “suspicious and unfavourable.” This, he argued, was why she refused to disclose them.

“If she had full confidence in the child’s paternity, a secret DNA test was unnecessary,” Ogungbe stated. “Her action contradicts her claims of seeking transparency.”

Infidelity Allegations Resurface

Mr. Aloba told the court a troubling detail. It concerned claims of infidelity. His late son, Mohbad, had confided in him about Wunmi’s alleged unfaithfulness.

When this issue arose in court, Wunmi did not deny it. Her response was evasive, Aloba’s counsel noted.

Mr. Aloba explained his initial intentions towards Wunmi were honorable and fatherly. But he learned of “troubling revelations.” Soon after, Mohbad died under mysterious circumstances. Aloba’s counsel argued Wunmi’s refusal to deny two things. These were the secret DNA test and the infidelity accusations. This makes her manipulation narrative inconsistent with her conduct.

Demand for International DNA Testing

Aloba’s counsel urged for DNA testing at renowned international laboratories. He named DNA Diagnostics Center in Fairfield, Ohio, USA, and ORCHID CELLMARK in Wolverhampton, UK. Mr. Aloba offered to pay. This ensures the results’ integrity.

This request for international testing has a reason. An earlier result from Mohbad’s Coroner’s Inquest proved inconclusive. “This inconsistency justifies the Applicant’s insistence on transparent, internationally supervised DNA testing,” Ogungbe stated.

Mr. Aloba affirmed his absolute trust in the court. Yet, he has reservations. These concern “the integrity of certain State officials.” These officials are involved in DNA sample chain of custody. He therefore wants Lagos State officials excluded from the process.
