The Digest:
Joseph Aloba, father of the late singer Mohbad, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the ongoing legal battle to determine the paternity of his grandson Liam through DNA testing. An Ikorodu magistrate's court had authorised three DNA tests abroad, but Aloba accused the court of mismanaging the process and alleged a welfare officer selected a fake testing centre. Mohbad died on September 12, 2023, and Aloba has refused to allow his son's reburial until Liam's paternity is established.
Key Points:
- The court authorised DNA tests in the UK and the US.
- Mohbad's body was exhumed for autopsy, but the cause of death could not be determined due to decomposition.
- Aloba claims he is returning to Ekiti and no longer living in Lagos.
- He accused the Lagos state judiciary of complicity.
- Mohbad died after an injection by an auxiliary nurse.
