Joseph Aloba, the father of late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad, has said the late singer would be buried as soon as the DNA court case is concluded.
In a video shared on his TikTok page on Tuesday, December 2, Aloba stated that the late singer would be buried only after the DNA test for his grandson, Liam, is completed. He, however, did not give a definite date.

"Today is DNA court case, so we are here now, my lawyer is here, I am telling the whole world that this is the most important thing, and this is exactly what is delaying the burial of Mohbad. After DNA is done, we can move to burial," he said in the video.
Recall that Mohbad was initially buried on September 13, 2023, a day after his death. His body was later exhumed on September 21, 2023, for an autopsy as part of the ongoing investigation into his death.
Since then, his body has remained in the morgue. While a court granted permission for a proper burial, his family has been unable to reach an agreement.
