According to Aloba, the facilities submitted were fake. He further alleged that there was a powerful person behind the scenes trying to frustrate the case.
Mohbad's father also appealed to Lagos state to step in, stating that without the DNA test, the singer couldn't be buried.
"I was so sad when my lawyer called me that he detected that The DNA facilities that were presented by the court’s welfare officer and Wunmi’s lawyer were fake.

"I will ask my lawyer if we can move this case from Lagos to Ekiti. I am appealing to The Lagos State to allow me bury Mohbad. Without The DNA result, Mohbad cannot be buried. He was exhumed for a reason," Mohbad's father said in the video.
