Joseph Aloba, the father of the late Nigerian singer, Illerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad, has insisted on a DNA test being conducted on his grandson before the singer can be buried.
In light of the controversy surrounding Mohbad’s death, his body was exhumed for autopsy following public demand for an investigation.
However, the autopsy results failed to determine the cause of his death.
In a recent interview with TVC, Mr. Aloba stated his refusal to release his son’s body for burial until a DNA test is carried out on his grandson, Liam, to confirm his true paternity.
“I have to do the DNA [on Mohbad’s son] before the burial,” he said.
“I’m doubting the [the paternity of Mohbad’s] son also. Sometimes she [Mohbad’s wife] will leave home for 3 days without the consent of the husband.”
On the allegations that he is wearing Mohbad’s clothes and trying to inherit his properties, Aloba said, “When Mohbad was alive, we were friends. If he buys clothes for himself, he would also buy for me.
“Since his death, I have never gone to his house. I have never gone there for anything. But some people misinterpreted things so whenever they see me with a shirt, they say it is Mohbad’s. Is it compulsory that it must be from my son? I have my own clothes, too.”
