The ongoing paternity dispute surrounding Liam, the young son of the late singer Mohbad, has once again captured public attention after the child’s mother, Wunmi, released a detailed statement addressing allegations that she has been deliberately avoiding the DNA test requested by Mohbad’s father. The issue has been a topic of significant debate on social media, with fans and followers of the late singer closely monitoring developments in the legal battle. Wunmi’s statement aims to clarify her position amid widespread speculation that she has been stalling the court-mandated process.
The controversy follows revelations from Mohbad’s father that the DNA court case had been reopened and that the late singer’s burial would not proceed until the testing process has been fully completed. This announcement reignited tensions between the family members and has drawn intense media scrutiny due to the high-profile nature of the individuals involved.
Mohbad’s father questions grandson’s paternity
The bereaved grandfather has persistently raised questions regarding Liam’s paternity, prompting him to approach the court with a formal request to compel Wunmi to submit the child for a DNA test. Over time, public opinion has largely perceived Wunmi as responsible for delaying the testing process, with many critics accusing her of evading court orders and prolonging the resolution of the case. The dispute has become highly publicized, attracting commentary from fans, legal analysts, and social media users across Nigeria.
In response, Wunmi issued a statement through her legal representatives, which she also shared on her Instagram page. She firmly denied claims that she was avoiding the test, asserting instead that Mohbad’s father has been the party contributing to delays in the process. According to her, the legal proceedings resumed in court yesterday, during which her father-in-law requested that the DNA test be conducted exclusively in two hospitals of his choosing, a move she argued was unfair and contributed to procedural delays.
Court strikes out his request
Wunmi further revealed that the court rejected her father-in-law’s application and struck out the request, ruling that the DNA test must be carried out in two neutral and independent hospitals where neither party has any personal interest. This decision, she explained, ensures that the results are credible, unbiased, and acceptable to all parties involved. Wunmi emphasized that this ruling was one of the reasons the testing process has been delayed, clarifying that she has always been willing to comply with the court’s directives and is prepared to proceed with the DNA test once neutral facilities are selected for the examination.
She also highlighted that her focus remains on ensuring the proper legal process is followed, maintaining the integrity of the testing, and safeguarding the best interests of her son. Wunmi’s update has helped to shed light on the procedural complications that have contributed to the extended duration of the case, countering public narratives that have solely blamed her for the delays.
