The conflict began when Joseph Aloba cast doubt on Liam's paternity, igniting a storm of accusations and denials. During a recent radio interview, Aloba revealed that Mohbad himself had questioned the paternity of his son when Liam was just five months old. This led to a heated argument between Mohbad and Omowunmi, which was reportedly overheard by others.

Joseph Aloba has been adamant about verifying Liam's paternity through a DNA test before allowing Mohbad to be reburied. In his words, “Cynthia (Omowunmi) is supposed to be called a liar. There is no single truth that comes out from her. Liam has bowed legs. People started calling my attention to the physical traits of Liam, saying ‘We do not have curved legs in our family. So where did Liam get his curved legs?’”

Aloba also expressed his displeasure with Liam's name, stating, “I wanted to name the boy Victor. I did not know where they got the name Liam from. Liam is an Islamic name and we do not have Islamic in my lineage.”

He further emphasized the necessity of the DNA test, adding, “We are talking about DNA. They did not do it, and they want us to bury Mohbad. We must know if the child is ours and if he belongs to our bloodline. If people want to look for who killed Mohbad, they should wait after the DNA test.”

In response, Omowunmi took to Instagram to voice her distress. In a now-deleted post, she wrote, “Liam’s greatest enemy is his grandfather. Life is funny.”
