The family crisis surrounding the estate of former Oyo State Governor, Adebayo Alao-Akala, has taken a dramatic turn as his first daughter, Oluwatoyin Alao-Aderinto, approached the Oyo State High Court seeking a DNA test to determine the paternity of seven individuals claiming to be the late politician’s biological children.
In a suit filed before Justice Taiwo of Court 12 at the High Court, Ring Road, Ibadan, Alao-Aderinto also requested a court order for the exhumation of her father’s remains from the mausoleum in his Ogbomoso country home for the purpose of conducting the test.
Listed for the DNA testing are Olamijuwonlo (a member of the House of Representatives), Olamide, Adebukola, Olamipo, Tabitha, and Olamikunle, as well as Alao-Aderinto herself. The case was registered as Suit No. I/443/2024, and filed through her legal counsel, Oladipo Olasope (SAN).
