Wunmi Aloba, widow of late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has revealed that another Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) has withdrawn from the ongoing DNA case concerning her son, Liam.
In a series of posts on her Instagram story on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, Wunmi expressed frustration at the repeated change of legal representatives by her father-in-law, Joseph Aloba, who has persistently requested a DNA test to confirm Liam’s paternity.
“Another lawyer, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), has withdrawn from the DNA case. 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,” she wrote.
In a follow-up post, Wunmi criticised her late husband’s father for frequently switching lawyers, insisting that she and her legal team have fully cooperated with the court proceedings from the start.
“Another lawyer gone. A whole SAN,” she said. “When people are confident in truth, they don’t run. They don’t hide. They don’t switch lawyers every month. They don’t ignore court calls. We have cooperated from day one. We have never opposed a DNA test. We showed up. We waited. We followed the law.”

She further alleged that those requesting the DNA test are the ones responsible for delays in the process, emphasizing that neither science nor the court can be manipulated.
“The only people delaying this process are the same people who requested it. No one can manipulate the court, and no one can manipulate science. Let the truth speak—for Liam, for Mohbad, and for justice. Again. November 11 is around the corner. We will be there,” Wunmi added.
The DNA dispute has long been a point of tension between Wunmi and Joseph Aloba, who maintains that the test is necessary to confirm Liam’s biological connection to the late singer. While Mr. Aloba has argued that his insistence is for family clarity and peace of mind, critics contend that his public statements and social media commentary have added emotional strain on Wunmi and her child.
Since Mohbad’s death in September 2023, the family has been embroiled in multiple controversies, ranging from investigations into the singer’s passing to disputes over his estate. The unresolved DNA matter continues to fuel the ongoing feud.
Wunmi has consistently maintained that she has nothing to conceal and that she is willing to comply with a DNA test, provided it is conducted through proper legal channels and in a credible and transparent manner.
