Joseph Aloba, the father of the late Nigerian singer Illerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad, insists that a DNA test must be carried out on his grandson before the singer can be laid to rest.
After Mohbad’s body was exhumed for an autopsy, which failed to determine the cause of death, there have been calls for his burial.
However, Mr. Aloba is adamant that his son’s body will not be released until a DNA test is done on his grandson 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.”
