Joseph Aloba, the father of late Nigerian artist Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has raised doubts about the paternity of Liam, Mohbad’s son. In a recent interview with Silverbird TV, Aloba insisted on conducting a DNA test to confirm whether Liam is truly Mohbad’s child.
Lack of Contact Sparks Frustration
Since Mohbad’s tragic death, Aloba expressed frustration over the lack of communication from Mohbad’s wife, Wunmi, and their son, Liam. He criticized their absence, asserting that they should have reached out to him as the family’s elder.
“I’ve not seen Mohbad’s wife and son since his death. Even my son, Adura, none of them came to me. They know where I’m living. They are supposed to come to me and say, ‘This is your grandson,’” Aloba lamented.
Paternity Doubts: “If the DNA Says He Is, It’s Acceptable”
Aloba questioned whether Liam resembles Mohbad and firmly stated his skepticism about the child’s paternity.
“No, no, no. With what I’m seeing, he’s not. If the DNA says he is, it’s acceptable,” he said.
He revealed that he had requested a DNA test to settle the matter but alleged that Mohbad’s family had been delaying the process. Aloba suggested that the court should intervene to resolve the issue.
“I demanded DNA; they are supposed to say, ‘Daddy, do it at your convenient time,’ but they have been hiding it. So, it became a public matter. Let the court have the final say concerning it. I’ll know exactly what to do from there,” Aloba stated.
Concerns Over Adura’s Silence
Adding to his frustrations, Aloba shared that his other son, Adura, who lived with Mohbad before his death, has also distanced himself. Aloba claimed that Adura has not visited or communicated with him since the tragedy, raising concerns about potential external influence.
“Adura is now 22 years old, but he never called me or came to my house since his brother’s death. It’s like some people are covering him. We used to be together, but something separated us after Mohbad’s death,” Aloba explained.
He further emphasized that Adura should have more insights into the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death, as they lived together.
“Adura is supposed to fill me in on exactly what happened to his brother; they were living in the same house. He is supposed to know,” he added.
Public Reaction to Aloba’s Demands
The ongoing paternity controversy and family tensions have sparked widespread discussion on social media. While some sympathize with Aloba’s demand for clarity, others urge the family to resolve the matter privately for the sake of Liam’s future.
- @NaijaUpdates: “The DNA test should be done to clear all doubts and move forward peacefully.”
- @MusicFanNG: “This family drama is heartbreaking. They need to focus on healing, not public disputes.”
- @RealTalk256: “Adura’s silence is concerning. He might have crucial information about Mohbad’s death.”
Final Thoughts
Joseph Aloba’s insistence on a DNA test reflects his quest for clarity amid the grief of losing his son. The lack of communication and unresolved paternity questions have fueled tensions within Mohbad’s family, leaving fans and observers concerned about the legacy of the late artist.
As the situation unfolds, it remains essential for all parties to prioritize the well-being of Liam and seek resolution through appropriate channels. This case serves as a stark reminder of the complexities families face in the aftermath of tragedy.
