Wunmi’s DNA Test Will Be Conducted At A Mutually Agreed-Upon Medical Centre Within Nigeria – Lawyer

Widow of late Mohbad, Omowunmi has finally agreed to a Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) test to determine the paternity of their only son, Liam.

Recall that the late singer’s father, Joseph Aloba filed a suit seeking a DNA test for his grandson months back, and fans have been reacting.

A new press statement obtained by a representative of the family’s legal team, Monisola Odumosu, has come out to state that Wunmi has agreed to carry out the DNA, and the decision comes after the settlement terms drafted by all parties.

She added that the (DNA) test would be conducted at a mutually agreed-upon laboratory or medical centre within Nigeria.

Her words, “Emmanuel Oroko informed the court that both parties had settled outside the court and are ready to move the terms of the settlement already filed and served on Wunmi Aloba’s lawyers. In response, Kabir Akingbolu, Esq. (leading Adams Atata Esq. and M.K.O Orire Esq.) concurred, and the court adopted the terms of settlement as the judgment of the court.

In the terms filed before the court, the respondent, Wunmi Aloba, consented to submit herself and her son, (Master Liam Aloba), for the conduct of a Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) at Two (2) recognised and accredited government or private medical facilities within Lagos State or other agreeable hospital outside Lagos State. In turn, the applicant, Mr. Joseph Aloba, agreed to bear the cost of the DNA test processes, including the fees for the testing facility, the collection of samples, and any associated legal or administrative fees.

The court further ordered that the Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) test be conducted at a mutually agreed-upon laboratory or medical centre within Nigeria. To ensure and ascertain the reliability of the test, the court further appointed some officers to supervise the process of the DNA test.”

WOW.
