“We Are Litigation Lawyers, Not Medical Practitioners,” Says Law Firm Accused Of DNA Testing Late Rapper Mohbad’s Son
A Lagos-based law firm, Salawu, Akingbolu & Co. has vehemently denied allegations made by a blogger, one Bukky Jesse, regarding their involvement in conducting a Deoxyribonucleic (DNA) test on the son of late hip-hop artiste, Aloba Ilerioluwa Promise, popularly known as Mohbad.
In a strongly worded statement, the law firm dismissed the claims as baseless and urged the public to disregard them.
The law firm claimed that the blogger, in an apparent bid to boost her online followers, accused the law firm of collaborating with medical facilities to carry out DNA tests on Mohbad’s son, Liam.
However, Salawu, Akingbolu & Co. clarified that they are litigation lawyers and not medical practitioners, refuting any involvement in such medical procedures. The law firm said their association with Mohbad’s wife, Mrs. Wunmi Aloba, is purely legal representation in the ongoing cases.
They emphasised their unwavering commitment to ethics and professionalism in their legal practice, highlighting their track record of defending the rights of individuals and challenging governmental injustices.
The firm labeled Bukky Jesse’s allegations as unfounded and accused her of seeking attention and financial gain through the dissemination of false information.
“We have never, at any point in time, carried out any Deoxyribonucleic (DNA) test for Mrs. Wunmi Aloba nor any person, whosoever, because we are not running a hospital but a law firm. This is an allegation that has no iota of truth, but one made by a self-serving, jobless attention seeker and overseas fugitive who believes in making money by maligning people with integrity, so as to attract followers on the Internet”.
The law firm challenged Jesse to produce any alleged DNA results she claimed to possess and warned of legal repercussions for her actions. They assured the public that they will pursue legal avenues to address the false accusations and bring Jesse to account for her statements.
