Joseph Aloba, father of late Nigerian singer Mohbad, took a rather unique approach to serving a court summons to his daughter-in-law, Omawumi Wunmi Aloba, regarding a DNA test for his nephew Mr., Liam Light Aloba.
Amid the ongoing dispute over Liam’s paternity, Mr. Aloba did not choose the usual legal channels. Instead, he decided to post two court summons right at the gate of Wumi’s last known residence. The sighting of these recorded letters caught people’s attention after a photo went viral online, causing a stir across Nigeria.
The clash between Mr. Aloba and Wumi became quite spectacular, as both sides were heatedly debating whether to conduct a DNA test or not. Wumi, as Mohbad’s young widow, had previously expressed her desire for a paternity test on social media platforms. In response, Mr. Aloba sought legal recourse.
In a rather unique response to Wumi’s plea for a court order, Mr. Aloba took matters into his own hands by using this unusual method of serving the court summons. The image of letters posted on the Wumi gate is a clear reminder of the ongoing dispute between these two sides.
