According to Legit.ng, Mr Aloba, and Wunmi have been at loggerheads over the late singer's properties and the paternity of his kid, Liam.

In a recent interview with Max FM, he stated that Wunmi had threatened his life and that he now lives in fear.

The letter released by Falana & Falana Chambers revealed that Mohbad's dad made his attorneys write to Wunmi that she needed to hand over Liam (his grandson) so he could take him for a DNA test.

The Falana chambers responded to Mohbad's father through his lawyers stating that because he wants Liam to be handed over to him for DNA testing, which he has stated will involve taking blood samples, Liam must be protected under his child's rights, so Mr Aloba and his lawyers should obtain a court order and present it to them before such a request can be granted.

According to the letter, this procedure was because Mr Aloba is not Liam's parent and cannot directly request DNA.

Mr Aloba has not gone to obtain the court order but has instead granted interviews defaming the Falanas and accusing them of attempting to kill him.

The Falana also ordered him to stop doing that, or they'd have to take his accusations to court to prove where they posed a threat to his life or wanted to kill him.

Additionally, the deceased's dad was accused of wanting to take over his late son's assets, hence his recent actions.
