The family of late singer Ilerioluwa “Mohbad” Aloba has once again demanded a full and transparent investigation into his death while directing his widow, Wunmi, to stop using the Aloba surname until a court-ordered DNA test confirms her son’s paternity.
In a statement jointly signed by family head Omolayo Aloba and Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, they reaffirmed their commitment to “a transparent, independent, and comprehensive investigation” into the circumstances surrounding the singer’s passing.
The statement also introduced Oladayo Ogungbe, Esq. as the family’s exclusive legal representative on all estate and DNA-related matters, while Dr. Wahab Shittu, SAN will continue to represent them before relevant authorities.
Three administrators — Ajewole Aloba, Rasaq Famuyiwa, and Alonge Aloba — were appointed to manage Mohbad’s estate, with one slot reserved for Wunmi, pending DNA confirmation that her son, Liam, is indeed Mohbad’s biological child.
The family instructed Wunmi to “cease using the surname Aloba in public or private records until lawful confirmation of paternity is obtained,” stressing that there was no legal or traditional marriage between Mohbad and Wunmi Adebanjo.
They added that if the DNA test verifies Liam’s paternity, both Wunmi and the child will be included in the estate’s administration.
Mohbad, who died on September 12, 2023, at age 27, has not yet been buried as his family continues to pursue justice and answers about the cause of his death.
