Court Orders Two DNA Tests on Mohbad’s Son

The Magistrate Court in Ikorodu has given an order for two Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) tests be carried out on Liam Aloba, the son of late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
The order was granted by Magistrate Adefisoye Sonuga on Tuesday, September 2, 2025.
This is coming after an application was filed by the singer’s father, Joseph Aloba, who sought a paternity test.
The late Mohbad’s wife, Omowunmi Cynthia Aloba, was listed as the respondent in the application brought under the Family Court of Lagos State (Civil Procedure) 2012 and the Magistrate Courts (Civil Procedure) Rules 2009.
The application requested that samples be taken from the remains of the deceased at the Military Hospital in Yaba for use in conducting the tests, either within Lagos or in another recognised facility outside the state.
It further sought approval for a separate test to be conducted abroad at the applicant’s expense.
In court filings, Aloba argued that uncertainty about Liam’s paternity made it necessary to conclusively settle the matter, stressing its importance for maintenance obligations and the child’s welfare.
At the hearing, Aloba was represented by Augustine Adegbemi from the chambers of Dr Wahab Shittu (SAN) & Co., while Kabir Akingbolu appeared for the respondent. The application was moved without opposition, leading the magistrate to grant the request.
The court directed that the tests be conducted in accredited hospitals in Nigeria and abroad, with both parties or their representatives present during sample collection.
The matter was adjourned to November 11, 2025, for further proceedings.
The 26-year-old singer died on September 12, 2023, after sustaining an injury on the back of his right arm.
He was treated and given an injection at his Lekki home by a nurse, and d!ed shortly after he developed a sudden convulsion.  He was buried the following day.
Following a massive public outcry, the body was exhumed on September 21, 2023, for an autopsy on the orders of the Lagos State Government.
The findings in that autopsy concluded on April 29, 2024, showed that the cause of death couldn’t be ascertained as the internal organs were already “in a state of moderate to severe decomposition”.
The second autopsy was ordered by the Coroner in June 2024, after the deceased’s family made an application for an independent review.

Wumi Toriola Blasts Afeez Owo For Comparing Her With Mide Martins

Actress Wumi Toriola has attacked veteran movie director, Afeez Owo over a comment he made comparing her with his wife, Mide Martins.
Recall that Afeez Owo had spoken about Wumi Toriola’s character during his interview on the African A-List podcast.
Speaking on the difference between Wumi and Mide characters, Afeez said “Mide’s character in the movie is totally different from real life, but Wumi’s movie role is close to her character in real life. Violence is her comfort zone.

Reacting to the interview in a now deleted video on her Instagram page, Wumi blasted the actor.
While describing the interview as rubbish, Wumi said “Must every rift be taken to podcasts? They gave you a mic, and you started saying rubbish. After they entertained you with pepper soup, you started blabbing.
 
“Am I a mad woman? If people don’t offend me, will I be angry? I have never insulted you before. I still respect you despite your unfortunate behaviour.”
Wumi and Mide are both known for playing hot-tempered characters.

I Almost Died of Drug Abuse, Overdose – Odumodublvck Shares Story

Nigerian rapper, Odumodublvck has revealed that he nearly d!ed of drug overdose.
According to him, this happened during the time he struggled with illicit drug addiction.
The rapper stated that he used to take illicit drugs while studying at the University of Lagos and almost d!ed of overdose during an episode.
The ‘Pity The Boy’ hitmaker explained that he called his mother to book a flight for him to return to Abuja while battling with the overdose. He stated that after that incident, he only indulged in illicit drugs once before quitting.
“I was a very bright student while studying at the University of Lagos. But I was indulging in illicit drugs. One day, I took it and almost died. I called my mother to book my flight to return to Abuja. After that incident, I only took drug once before quitting,” he stated in a recent episode of the Tea With Tay podcast.
Odumodublvck stated that he was grateful to God because not everyone who indulged in illicit substance consumption were privileged to give up the addiction.
Warning of the dangers of drug abuse, he urged young people to shun illicit substance consumption.
“I’m grateful because there are some people that went into that life [illicit substance consumption] and they didn’t make it out. Some people didn’t make it alive, some had lost people to it like they died because of drug abuse. Some even committed suicide due to drug overdose. I’ve seen a pregnant woman and her husband battling drug addiction. It’s really terrible!”

Nigerian Music Industry Unconducive for Women – Qing Madi

Nigerian musician, Qing Madi has lamented that the Nigerian music industry is not conducive for female artists.
She stated this in a recent interveiw.
According to her, the music industry does not protect women, noting that the reception of female artists is low.
Speaking in a recent episode of the Wahala Podcast, Qing Madi said, “I think the [music] industry is not the best for women in terms of protecting women, loving women in general.
 
“Women have to do twice as much work as their male counterparts. Women are oftentimes criticised for nothing. But they don’t do that to the men. The men have the right to do whatever they like, but for the women, society just wants to box women so much.
 
“I go through that, which is crazy because I’m 19. So what do you want me to do? Women never get a break. So I’m super proud of being a female artist in Nigeria. And I’m super proud of every female artist in Nigeria because it takes a lot [to be one]. It’s not easy.”
