Baba Mohbad Rejects Court's Secret DNA Lab Plan, Demands Own Pathologist
In a significant development in the ongoing legal saga surrounding the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, his father, Joseph Aloba, has vehemently rejected a court decision to appoint an independent laboratory for a DNA test on Mohbad's son, Liam. The court ruled on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, that a neutral, undisclosed lab would conduct the test to ensure fairness in the paternity dispute between Baba Mohbad and Mohbad's widow, Wunmi Aloba.
Court's Ruling and Immediate Objection
During the court session, it was revealed that previously selected facilities were unable to perform the specialized tissue-based or post-mortem DNA testing required. This led to intense arguments between the parties, culminating in the court's decision to appoint a secret, independent laboratory. However, Baba Mohbad immediately objected, stating he would not accept the results from such a setup. He cited fears of a repeat of the "inconclusive" toxicology report from Mohbad's case, emphasizing the need for transparency.
Demand for Parallel Testing
Baba Mohbad demanded the right to hire his own private pathologist to conduct a parallel DNA test, arguing that this would maintain fairness. He insisted that the court could proceed with its test, but he must be allowed to run a separate examination. Additionally, he pointed out that since Wunmi allegedly conducted a private DNA test without making the results public, he should be granted the same opportunity for independent analysis.
Social Media Reactions
The update sparked varied reactions on social media. User @cutiemosun expressed confusion, urging Baba Mohbad to let the boy rest, while @fadareojo lamented the three-year delay in justice, questioning why a simple DNA test has become so difficult and heartbreaking.
Background and Allegations
The legal battle over Liam's paternity has been ongoing, with Baba Mohbad previously making allegations against Wunmi. In a viral video, he claimed she was responsible for Mohbad's demise, referencing a voice note where Mohbad allegedly told his wife that if she took his life, she could not take the lives of every family member. The case continues to draw public attention as emotions run high.
