Joseph Aloba, Father of the late Nigerian musician Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba, also known as Mohbad, gave an explanation of why he thought it was necessary to do the Deoxyribonucleic Acid, or DNA, test on his deceased child Liam in front of him.

Aloba brought up the necessity to resolve the contentious debate among Nigerians regarding the child’s paternity as well as other matters pertaining to the former Marlian musician and his spouse.

The late singer’s father emphasized the significance of the test in an interview with Stams TV on Wednesday. He also refuted a rumor that DNA testing was done in a post by well-known comedian OGBCultist, who is thought to be Mohbad’s friend.

He also proposed that the test be conducted at two different hospitals to ensure the accuracy of the results.

Aloba said, “Concerning the DNA test, it’s a must they do it. Nigerians are demanding it. I heard rumours that they did it, but no matter what, I’m Mohbad’s father, so I’ll give consent to the DNA test or send anyone who can represent me during the test if I’m not there to know how they’ll do it. And even when they want to do it, it should be done in two different places so we can be very sure and know the truth.

“Also, where I am from in Ikere Ekiti, even Olu Ikere just left my side now after visiting me. We don’t Accept bastards where I’m from, but it will be a thing of joy for me if this child is Mohbad’s because this is the only child he said he left for me. Three days before his death, I was with him, he even served me food, and he put Liam on my hands, and he was taking pictures.

He added that he is also interested in the police rounding off their investigation process so that the burial rites of his late child would be done.

“I will call the police boss to know if it is possible for us to bury him. In fact, many have complained of seeing Mohbad’s ghost and this is only possible because he has not been buried. I would really be glad that this is looked into as early as possible,” he said.
