Alao-Akala’s Daughter Files Suit for DNA Test, Wants Late Father Exhumed Over Property Dispute Oluwatoyin Alao-Aderinto, first daughter of the late former Oyo State Governor, Adebayo Alao-Akala, has filed a suit at the Oyo State High Court in Ibadan, seeking an order for a Deoxyribonucleic Acid test on seven individuals claiming to be biological children of the deceased. She is also seeking an order of the court for the exhumation of her father’s corpse to carry out the DNA test. Alao-Aderinto, in a suit filed before Justice Taiwo of Court 12 at the state High Court, Ring Road, Ibadan, is praying the court to direct that the DNA tests be carried out on herself, and her siblings, including a serving member of the House of Representatives, Olamijuwonlo. Others named for the DNA test are Olamide, Adebukola, Olamipo, Tabitha and Olamikunle, as listed in the motion on notice filed through her counsel, Oladipo Olasope, SAN, and registered I/443/2024. The suit is a new twist in what has become a messy and prolonged family feud over the vast estate of the late politician, who died intestate on January 12, 2022. The crisis, which has been brewing silently since his burial became public in October 2022 when the wife of the late former governor, Kemi Alao-Akala and Olamide Alabi, believed to be one of the deceased’s daughters, obtained a Letter of Administration from the Oyo State Probate Registry without the knowledge or consent of Oluwatoyin, the first child. Her counsel, Olasope had, in an August 2023 letter made public, warned that the exclusion of the claimant who is the first daughter of the late Alao-Akala, violated both moral norms and legal rights, stressing that unless resolved, the dispute could further polarise the family and damage the late governor’s political legacy. However, Alao-Aderinto, in her fresh prayer, said the tests be conducted at a court-approved, accredited laboratory to determine their true biological relationship with the late former governor. She is also seeking an order of the court, directing exhumation of his remains from the mausoleum built in the former governor’s Ogbomoso country home for the purpose of carrying out the paternity test. Alao-Aderinto pleaded that the results of the tests should be filed under a sealed envelope and delivered directly to the presiding Judge for pronouncement in open court. In her affidavit and accompanying exhibit filed in support of her motion, she accused the duo of manipulating facts to claim sole control over the estate, despite the presence of other biological children and heirs. The estate in question is said to be massive, spreading across several properties in Ibadan, Lagos, Abuja, United Kingdom and the United States of America, including a five-star hotel in Ghana, vehicles and multiple bank accounts containing hundreds of millions in naira, dollars and pounds sterling. Her position on the deceased father’s estate stems from the strong resolve at ensuring that every individual, including nuclear and extended family members, aides of the former governors, who served him meritoriously without blemish and yet to identified children among many others are catered for, as against the alleged winner- takes-it -all approach adopted by the duo of the defendants. The said administrators listed only seven individuals as legal heirs, but the position, as articulated by her counsel, is that there is no consensus on the paternity of these persons, and the inclusion of some and exclusion of others in the administration of the deceased’s estate raises troubling questions of authenticity and equity. It is on this basis that she seeks judicial intervention through scientific means Punch
