Mr. Joseph Aloba, the father of the late Nigerian singer Mohbad, whose real name was Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba, has firmly asserted the need for a DNA test to be conducted on his grandson, Liam, and insisted that he must be present during the process.
The paternity of Mohbad’s son, Liam, has been a subject of considerable debate in Nigeria, with many discussing the necessity of a DNA test to establish his true parentage.
In an interview with Stams TV, Mr. Aloba stressed the significance of conducting a DNA test for his grandson, viewing it as a matter of national concern. He refuted rumors suggesting that a DNA test had already been carried out, clarifying that no such test could take place without his consent.
Mr. Aloba asserted that he needs to be physically present or designate a representative to be there during the DNA test. He further recommended that the test be conducted at two different hospitals to ensure the accuracy of the results, highlighting the seriousness of this matter.
Mohbad’s father on the importance of DNA test
“Concerning the DNA test, it’s a must they do it. Nigerians are demanding for it. I heard rumours that they did it but no matter what, I’m Mohbad’s father so I’ll give consent on 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 paying me a visit. 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.
“So I’ll be very happy if Liam is Mohbad’s son because I love the child. But if it turns out that Liam is not his son, it won’t be good if we don’t find out now because of the future so that even late Mohbad shouldn’t be blaming me that I accepted something like this in. So the DNA is very necessary.”
