Joseph Aloba, Mohbad’s father, has expressed doubt about Liam being his grandchild.
Mohbad’s father reiterated his stance during a recent interview with Silverbird Television.
When asked if Liam looks like Mohbad, Aloba said: “No, what I see is not my grandchild.”
He said as Mohbad’s father, the child should have been brought to him to confirm. He said: “When I ask for DNA, they were supposed to say ‘Daddy go and do it at your convenient time’. It has become public now. Let the court speak to that.”
Aloba said he will only accept Liam as his grandchild if DNA confirms.
Mohbad was a fast rising artist who died suddenly on September 12, 2023. He left behind his wife Omowunmi and their son Liam. His death sent shockwaves across Nigeria and many have been calling for justice. Investigations into his death is still ongoing and autopsy report is still pending.
The paternity of Liam has added another twist to Mohbad’s death. On social media many Nigerians have been criticizing Omowunmi for delaying the DNA test, some are saying she’s not being transparent about the issue.
This family drama is still trending and bringing to the fore trust, transparency and the effects of unresolved issues. Nigerians are still waiting for closure on Mohbad’s death. DNA test is bringing out the challenges families go through in the aftermath of tragedy.
