Iyabo Ojo cautions against DNA demands: “Stop disrespecting Mohbad’s son, let his wife grieve
Those urging Omowunmi, the widow of late rapper Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba, aka Mohbad, to have a DNA test done on her child to establish his paternity have come under fire from Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo.
According to OBASANJO NEWS24, some Nigerians have persisted in requesting that the rapper’s widow perform a DNA test on their five-month-old boy to demonstrate that he is Mohbad’s child.
A businessman named Larry Omodia recently offered to pay N10 million for Mohbad’s widow’s ‘all-expense paid’ DNA test if she consented to participate.
Iyabo Ojo responded, calling the calls for a DNA test “insensitive,” in a video message posted to her Instagram page.
She said, “You folks should kindly permit Mohbad’s family to mourn despite all these DNA test-related diversions. It is possible for Mohbad’s parents to ask for a DNA test. They can’t be ordered to take a DNA test by you or me.
“Mohbad never revealed that his son was not his son to anyone. But if the officers looking into his death believe a DNA test is necessary, they will do so. Please be really sensitive. Why are you guys abusing the poor woman [the wife of Mohbad]? abandon her
