A MAGISTRATE Court sitting in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State has reportedly ordered that Wunmi, wife of late singer Mohbad, be served notice of a pending DNA test application by substituted means.
This is according to a statement signed by a member of the legal team to the Aloba family, Monisola Odumosu, on Wednesday, April 17.
Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, in the application filed by the legal team to the family, sought an order to serve Wunmi by posting all the originating processes and other processes in the suit on the last-known address of the respondent.
The statement said the legal team, led by Emmanuel Oroko, had argued that the Sheriff had attempted twice to serve Wunmi the court process, but failed, adding: “If the process were served on the last-known address of the respondent by Order of the Court, it would constitute good service and she would be aware of the pending suit.”
The Chief Magistrate granted the request and ordered that the respondent be served by posting the court process on her last known address.
Recall that the Aloba family is contesting the paternity of baby, Liam, and filed an application before the Family Court, wherein it sought an order of the court against Wunmi to present herself and baby Liam for a DNA test at any recognised laboratory in Lagos, Odumosu said.
