Court-Authorized UK Labs Decline Paternity Test On Late Singer Mohbad's Son, Liam

Two of the three laboratories approved by the Magistrate Court in Ikorodu, Lagos State, have refused to conduct a paternity test on Liam, the alleged son of the late singer, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.

This comes amid the ongoing dispute between Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba and his widow, Wunmi.

Recall that the Magistrate Court had three weeks ago approved three laboratories in the United States and United Kingdom for the DNA tests on Liam.

The court had independently picked Advanced Histopathology Laboratory Limited, London, United Kingdom

while Wunmi submitted Alpha Bio Labs in Warrington, United Kingdom. Mohbad’s father picked DNA Diagnostics Centre, Fairfield, Ohio, US.

However, in a statement on Thursday, the counsel to the singer’s father, Oladayo Ogungbe, disclosed that the two laboratories picked by Wunmi and the court have indicated that “they do not conduct post-mortem DNA testing involving embalmed bodies”.

Ogungbe explained that Advanced Histopathology Laboratory Limited, London, United Kingdom, and Alpha Bio Labs, Warrington, United Kingdom, made this known after preliminary inquiries by Joseph Aloba’s representative to ascertain whether the listed laboratories possessed the technical capacity to conduct such test.

Recall that the singer Mohbad mysteriously died on the 12th of September, 2023, and buried the next day. His body was exhumed after seven days following public outcry.

Following the circumstances surrounding his death, his father demanded a DNA test on his son.
