Liam not my grandson, he doesn’t look like Mohbad, Joseph Aloba insists

Published

Joseph Aloba, the father of Mohbad, has reiterated his doubts about the paternity of his grandson, Liam.

Liam is the son of Mohbad and his wife, Omowunmi.

Mohbad died on September 12, 2023, and was buried the following day. On September 21, his body was exhumed by police for an autopsy.

Aloba has been vocal about his demands for justice, calling for the police to probe Omowunmi and for a DNA test to be conducted on Liam.

Aloba had refused to rebury Mohbad and emphasized the need to confirm Liam’s biological connection to him.

However, Omowunmi accused her father-in-law of avoiding a DNA test.

In a recent interview with Silverbird Television, Aloba reiterated his doubts about Liam’s paternity.

When asked if Liam looked like Mohbad, Aloba vehemently said “no”. “With what I’m seeing, he is not my grandson,” he said.

He also expressed frustration that Omowunmi and her family have not brought Liam to him, “despite knowing my house address”.

“As a father, they know where I am living. Yes (They do not come to me). I do not want to speak about it now because the case is still in court,” he said.

“As a father, they are supposed to bring the child to me. Now, I demand DNA, they are supposed to say ‘Daddy go and do it at your convenient time’.

“It has become public now. Let the court speak to that. With what I’m seeing, he is not my grandson.”

Aloba added that he would only accept Liam as his grandson if the “DNA test says otherwise”.

Aloba’s concerns come at about the same time when Abosede, Mohbad’s mum, clashed with Fabiyi over an accusation against the singer’s brother.

Fabiyi claimed Adura knew the cause of Mohbad’s death and requested money to share information with him.
