Oba Elegushi Takes Action on Allegations of Fathering of Mohbad’s Son

The Elegushi of Ikate Kingdom, Oba Saheed Ademola, has distanced himself from the current paternity dispute involving Liam Aloba, the son of the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.

Some social media influencers based overseas including Abosede Comfort Ilesanmi, a Nigerian based in Germany, and one Olubukola Jesse, popularly known as Bukky Jesse, who lives in the United Kingdom, are said to be accusing the monarch of fathering the toddler.

Their allegations have generated widespread controversies on social media platforms as many have asked Mohbad’s wife, Wunmi to release her son, Liam to her father-in-law, Mr. Joseph Aloba to conduct a DNA test with a view to putting a closure to his paternity saga.

On her part, Wunmi and her legal team have insisted that Mohbad’s father must get a court order before Liam could be presented for a DNA test.

However, Oba Elegushi in a statement issued on Tuesday by his media consultant, Lambert and Curtis and signed by Deyemi Saka, dissociated himself from the paternity saga, describing the social media influencers’ insinuation as false and a figment of their wicked imaginations.

The statement read, “We are the media consultant to the Elegushi Royal Family and we will like to respond to a new desperate attempt at dragging His Royal Majesty, Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi to the needless paternity dispute over the son of Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as “Mohbad”.

“The widely syndicated falsehood was promoted by some persons with the under-listed profile on the social media app TikTok namely: Oloriebimusicproduction2; PEKINS RULES, and WESTO4LIVE.

“Also the same falsehood is being promoted by: “Auto Success Ola”; Olubukola Jesse; “Teni Omo Ologo” and, Tolani Ilesanmi.

“First of all, this is to inform the public that the allegation is false and a figment of the wicked imaginations of these persons.

“Secondly, HRM Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi through his lawyers have filed a petition against these persons with the Nigeria Police and other relevant security agencies in a bid to enforce his fundamental human rights and protect him from cyber bullies while he is hopeful the Nigeria Police will collaborate with relevant international security organisations in this quest for redress.

“Thirdly, it must be stated emphatically that Oba Elegushi just as many Nigerians is saddened by the sudden demise of Mohbad, demanded for a thorough investigation and a quick dispensation of justice.

“While we pray to almighty God to grant the Alobas the immense strength to bear this painful loss we urge people to refrain from dragging the integrity of His Royal Majesty Oba Saheed Elegushi and the revered traditional institution he represents into public disrepute.”
