Joseph Aloba, father of late singer Mohbad, has again maintained that his son will not be laid to rest until a DNA test is carried out to confirm the paternity of the singer’s child.
He stressed that without the test, the burial cannot go ahead, standing firmly on his position of “no DNA, no burial.”
A Lagos State Magistrate Court sitting in Ikorodu had previously directed that a Deoxyribonucleic Acid test be conducted to determine whether Liam Aloba is truly the biological son of the deceased. The order was issued by Magistrate Adefisoye Sonuga while delivering a ruling on an application filed by Aloba.
In a video shared via his TikTok page on Sunday, Aloba claimed that certain powerful figures are working behind the scenes to hinder the process.
“Some powerful people have connived to use Mohbad’s de.ath to frustrate me. After the toxicology was done, nothing came out of it, and now they have gone to pick a questionable DNA centre.”
He also revealed that he is considering moving the case out of Lagos State, possibly to Ekiti, after consulting with his legal team.
“If possible, we will seek to transfer the case from Lagos to Ekiti State. I will consult my lawyer on that.”
Reaffirming his stance, Aloba appealed to the government to permit the burial of his son, but insisted that the DNA test must first be completed as it remains crucial evidence.
“I am calling on the Lagos State Government to allow me to bury my son, but without DNA, we cannot proceed. It is part of the evidence.”
He further called on the public to support his demand, emphasizing that the test is necessary to establish key facts surrounding the matter.
