Published

on

Omowunmi, widow of singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has accused her late husband’s father, Joseph Aloba, of delaying the DNA test ordered to resolve the paternity dispute of her son, Liam.

The disagreement, which has lingered for months, took a new turn as Omowunmi’s legal team, Salawu Akingbolu Chambers, accused Mr Aloba of rejecting her proposed medical facilities for the test.

A letter dated January 9, 2025, from Omowunmi’s lawyers stated that while she objected to using UCH Ibadan, Aloba also opposed her choice of Lagoon Hospitals.

To reach a resolution, Omowunmi suggested alternative facilities—Eko Hospital and Reddington Hospital—but claimed Aloba failed to respond.

Omowunmi expressed frustration over the delays, threatening to proceed independently with the DNA test if the matter remained unresolved.

To our utter surprise however, instead of you responding to our letter of the above-quoted date, we saw Mr Taiwo Odumosu of counsel, whom we have profound respect for and Counsel to the Applicant, saying on social media that we are the ones who are not ready for the DNA, whereas that is not the case, and we are by this letter denouncing any such misrepresentation Mr. Taiwo Odumosu of counsel must have tainted us with on the social media. As a matter of fact we deserve an apology for such unhealthy allegations,” the letter added.

She also lamented that Mohbad’s father defamed her son on social media, portraying him as a “bastard”.

“We shall inform the court of our position in this regard,” her letter read.

In response, Aloba’s former legal team, Hillceetee Partners, in their response dated January 11, 2025 and signed by Emmanuel Oroko, denied allegations of misrepresentation on social media, clarifying that no statements had been made implying Omowunmi’s unwillingness to cooperate.

“Mr Odumosu wishes to inform you that there was no time during his media interaction that he mentioned that your client ‘was not ready for the DNA’. What he was saying, which has been misinterpreted, was that the hospitals had yet to respond to enquiries on their readiness to conduct the test. We heard your client express sentiment in that respect after the media

“Mr Odumosu has absolute respect for your office and your client. He would not in any way derogate the professionalism and maturity both law firms have exhibited so far while the case lasted,” the letter read.

Released in November 2025 under his label, Lakreem Entertainment, Open Letter to Donald Trump is framed as a direct address to the former U.S. President but primarily targets Nigeria’s political class.

In the song, Abdulkareem accuses Nigerian leaders of enriching themselves while ordinary citizens endure hardship, describing them as “criminals of all shades and hues” who dominate society. The track references worsening insecurity, including kidnappings, killings, and terrorism, and seeks to draw international attention to Nigeria’s crises.

The song continues Abdulkareem’s tradition of protest music, following his 2004 hit Jaga Jaga and the more recent 2025 release Tell Your Papa, which was banned by the National Broadcasting Commission for allegedly containing “objectionable lyrics” in violation of responsible broadcasting rules. The ban prohibited Nigerian radio and television stations from airing the track.

Abdulkareem has consistently used his music to challenge political leaders and highlight social injustice, cementing his reputation as one of Nigeria’s most outspoken protest musicians.

Recall that in 2020, Abdulkareem accused Grammy-winning singer, Burna Boy, of appropriating the works of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo Kuti to advance his career.

Abdulkareem made the remarks in a video interview, responding to a now-deleted tweet by Burna Boy in which he claimed that no one had paved the way for him as an artist.

Abdulkareem argued that Burna Boy’s success relied heavily on Fela’s musical legacy and called on the “Anybody” singer to apologise.

He said that while Fela’s songs carried meaningful messages that enriched the lives of listeners, Burna Boy had borrowed extensively from both Fela and Afrobeat without giving due recognition.

“I think with due respect, Burna Boy needs to apologise. At least Fela made it happen for you, and you stole a lot from Fela’s songs to become who you are. You stole from Afrobeats to become who you are. Even though Fela’s songs are strictly about messages that add value to the lives of people, what is your song about?” Abdulkareem said.
