Recall that Mohbad d!ed in controversial circumstances on September 12, 2023 and has remained in the mortuary since then.
Nigerian singer Owodunni Ibrahim, popularly known as Primeboy, has made a heartfelt public plea for his close associate, the late Mohbad (born Ilerioluwa Aloba), to be buried nearly three years after his passing.
Recall that Mohbad d!ed in controversial circumstances on September 12, 2023 and has remained in the mortuary since then.
He was initially laid to rest on September 13, 2023, but was exhumed on September 21 for an autopsy to be carried out on him and has remained in the morgue since then.
The father of the deceased, Joseph Aloba, has insisted that the singer’s remains will not be laid to rest until a DNA test is conducted to ascertain the true paternity of Liam, the only child the singer left behind with his wife, Omawunmi.
In a viral video, Primeboy called on Mohbad’s family, the public, and the government to ensure the remains of the singer are laid to rest.
He said, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
Meanwhile, an Ikorodu High Court has ordered three separate DNA tests to be conducted abroad to determine the paternity of Liam.
The court gave the new directive after earlier plans to conduct a DNA test stalled, causing delays in resolving the disagreement between Mohbad’s family and his widow.
Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, appeared in court with his lawyer, Oladayo Ogungbe, who explained that the initial court-approved process could not proceed due to issues regarding the suitability of the testing centre.
Ogungbe told the court that a fresh arrangement had been made to avoid further disputes and to ensure trust in the outcome.
