Court Okays Substituted Service On Mohbad’s Wife For DNA Test

The Chief Magistrate Court sitting in Ikorodu has granted the order that Wunmi, the wife of the late singer, Mohbad, be served notice of the pending DNA test application by substituted means.

This was recently contained in a statement signed by a member of the legal team to the Aloba family, Monisola Odumosu, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the Chief Magistrate granted the order and ordered that the respondent be served by posting the court process on her last known address.

It read, “If the process were served on the last-known address of the respondent by Order of the Court, it would constitute good service and she would be aware of the pending suit. The Chief Magistrate granted the order and ordered that the respondent be served by posting the court process on her last known address. It will be recalled that the Aloba family is contesting the paternity of baby Liam and filed an application before the Family Court wherein it sought an order of the court against Wunmi to present herself and baby Liam for a DNA test at any recognised laboratory in Lagos.”

WOW.
