Mohbad’s widow, Wunmi Aloba, has written an open letter to her father-in-law, Joseph Aloba, after his legal counsel, Wahab Shittu, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), withdrew from the ongoing DNA case.
In the letter shared on her Instagram Story on Wednesday, Wunmi expressed frustration over the repeated withdrawal of lawyers by her late husband’s father, insisting that the truth would prevail.
“Another lawyer, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, has withdrawn from the DNA case,” she wrote.
“To my father-in-law, you can get as many lawyers as you want from anywhere in the world; one thing that’s certain is that you can’t manipulate this DNA. I’m sorry.”
The mother of one stated that she never opposed the DNA test demanded by her father-in-law, adding that his actions have only delayed the process.
“When people are confident in truth, they don’t run or hide. They don’t switch lawyers every month or ignore court calls. We have cooperated from day one,” she added.
Her reaction followed the announcement by Wahab Shittu (SAN) that his chambers had withdrawn from the matter, citing “sustained falsehood being orchestrated on social media about alleged attempts to compromise the outcome of the DNA process.”
The firm clarified that its withdrawal was limited only to the DNA issue.
The paternity dispute began after Joseph Aloba demanded a DNA test to confirm whether Wunmi’s son, Liam, is Mohbad’s biological child. A Magistrate’s Court in Ikorodu had earlier ordered that the test be conducted and directed that the expenses be borne by Mohbad’s father.
Since Mohbad’s death in September 2023, Wunmi and her father-in-law have clashed over the singer’s burial, inheritance and paternity matters.
