In other news… Two of the three laboratories approved by a Magistrate Court in Ikorodu, Lagos State, have reportedly declined to carry out a paternity test on Liam, the child alleged to belong to late singer Mohbad.
The development is the latest twist in the ongoing disagreement between the singer’s father, Joseph Aloba, and his widow, Wunmi.
It would be recalled that about three weeks ago, the court granted approval for three foreign laboratories based in the United States and the United Kingdom to conduct the DNA analysis.
The court selected Advanced Histopathology Laboratory Limited in London, while Wunmi chose Alpha Bio Labs located in Warrington, UK. On his part, Joseph Aloba opted for the DNA Diagnostics Centre in Fairfield, Ohio, USA.
However, in a statement released on Thursday, Oladayo Ogungbe, legal representative to Mohbad’s father, revealed that the two laboratories chosen by the court and Wunmi have declined the request. According to him, both facilities stated that they do not handle post-mortem DNA testing involving embalmed bodies.
Ogungbe noted that this clarification came after preliminary inquiries were made by representatives of Joseph Aloba to confirm whether the laboratories had the capability to conduct such specialized testing.
Mohbad passed away under unclear circumstances in September 2023 and was buried the following day. After widespread public concern, his remains were exhumed a week later for further investigation.
In the wake of the controversy surrounding his death, his father has continued to insist on a DNA test to establish the paternity of the child.
