- Omowunmi Aloba, widow of the late singer Mohbad, shared an emotional birthday message for her son, Liam, pledging to protect and support him as his “safest harbour.”
- A Magistrate Court in Ikorodu has officially ordered a DNA test to determine Liam’s paternity following a persistent application by the singer’s father, Joseph Aloba.
- The celebration comes during a period of intense public and familial scrutiny over the young child’s biological lineage, a saga that has continued since Mohbad’s death in September 2023.
Omowunmi Aloba, the widow of the late Nigerian artist Mohbad, took to social media on Sunday, April 12, 2026, to mark her son Liam’s birthday.
Describing the toddler as her “heartbeat,” Eko Hot Blog reports that Omowunmi expressed her pride in being his parent and vowed to cross oceans to ensure his safety.

The post, which quickly went viral, highlighted her role as the child’s “biggest cheerleader” despite the complex legal and familial controversies currently surrounding the Aloba family.
This celebration coincides with a significant legal development in the paternity dispute that has divided fans and family members alike.
Magistrate Adefisoye Sonuga, presiding over a Lagos State Magistrate Court in Ikorodu, has granted the request of the singer’s father, Joseph Aloba, for a DNA test.
The court order seeks to provide a definitive answer regarding Liam’s biological father, an issue that Joseph Aloba has championed since his son’s passing nearly three years ago.
The paternity saga is just one layer of the complicated legacy left behind by Mohbad. Since his death in 2023, his family has been embroiled in disputes ranging from the cause of his death to the distribution of his estate.
While Omowunmi has maintained her focus on raising Liam, the court’s recent directive ensures that the question of paternity will now move from social media speculation to a clinical conclusion.
