Iyabo Ojo, has criticized Nigerians who are pressuring Omowunmi, the widow of the late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba, aka Mohbad, to undergo a DNA test to confirm her son's paternity. Some Nigerians persist in demanding a DNA test for Mohbad's five-month-old son to establish his relationship with Mohbad.
A businessman named Larry Omodia recently pledged to contribute N10 million to support Mohbad's widow in conducting an 'all-expense paid' DNA test if she agrees to it.
However, in response via a video message shared on her Instagram page, Iyabo Ojo deemed the calls for a DNA test as "insensitive." She emphasized, "All these distractions of DNA test, you people should please allow Mohbad's family to mourn. If Mohbad's parents want a DNA test, they can request it. You and I don't have the right to tell them to do a DNA test."
"Mohbad never told anyone that his son wasn't his son. But if the officers investigating his death feel there is a need to conduct a DNA test, they will. We need to be very sensitive, please. Why are you guys bullying the poor lady [Mohbad's wife]? Leave her alone."
