Iyabo Ojo, the Nollywood actress, has criticized individuals who are pressuring Omowunmi, the widow of the late rapper Mohbad (Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba), to undergo a DNA test to confirm her son’s paternity.
Many Nigerians have been urging the rapper’s widow to conduct a DNA test on her five-month-old son in order to establish his relationship with Mohbad.
A businessman named Larry Omodia recently pledged to provide N10 million in support of Mohbad’s widow for an “all-expense paid” DNA test if she agreed.
However, Iyabo Ojo expressed her disapproval of the calls for a DNA test, describing them as “insensitive” in a video message posted on her Instagram page.
She stated, “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.”
