Wunmi, the late singer Mohbad’s widow, is prohibited from using their last name by his family.

Wunmi was officially barred from using her late husband’s family name, Aloba, while a DNA test was being conducted to determine Liam’s paternity.

This occurred in the midst of Mohbad’s contentious death on September 12, 2023, and the ensuing paternity battle with Wunmi.

After receiving an injection from an auxiliary nurse, Mohbad passed away. After the public outrage, his body was dug up for an autopsy.

A setback to the investigation occurred in May 2025 when pathologists indicated that it was impossible to pinpoint the reason of Mohbad’s death.

But in a recent development, Omolayo Aloba, the head of the family, and Joseph Aloba, the late singer’s father, jointly issued an official statement prohibiting Wunmi from using the family name.

They argued that Omowunmi and Mohbad were not legally wed, pointing to that “For the avoidance of doubt, no statutory or customary marriage was contracted between the late Mohbad and Wunmi Adebanjo, as the required Yoruba traditional rites (payment of bride price) were never completed”.

Additionally, the family designated Oladayo Ogungbe as their exclusive legal agent for the DNA case and Mohbad’s estate; Wahab Shittu would continue to handle all correspondence with the authorities investigating his death.

According to the statement, after the DNA test verifies that Liam is Mohbad’s biological son, Wunmi and the child will be included in the estate administration procedure.
