In a family law drama that captured public attention, wife of Late artist MOHBAD, Wunmi publicly denounced her father-in-law and criticised attempts she alleged were aimed at manipulating paternity evidence; the case saw a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) withdraw from representation, citing conflicts. Wunmi insisted on the integrity of DNA testing and demanded that the legal process be allowed to determine parentage without interference.
Legal observers noted the withdrawal of a SAN is significant and often stems from ethical, procedural or strategic disagreements; it has led to renewed scrutiny of case handling and the conduct of parties in the matter. Family rights groups called for expedited, transparent resolution to limit further trauma for the children and to protect the rights of all family members involved.
The episode underscores the sensitivity of paternity disputes in the public eye and highlights how legal representation, media coverage and family dynamics intersect. Advocates urged the courts to ensure the scientific evidence is properly handled and for stakeholders to prioritise child welfare in final determinations.
