In the clip, Mohbad’s father, also called Baba Mohbad, was approached by an interviewer who asked about rumours circulating online that Liam’s DNA test had already been conducted.
In response, Baba Mohbad explained that the case was still pending in court and no test had been carried out yet.
“There’s nothing like that, because the adjournment case is gonna be on 7th of April and we’re still in March, so there’s nothing like the DNA being done.”
The interviewer pressed further, asking if there were any updates on the case.
Baba Mohbad responded that he had already spoken extensively on the matter and would not keep repeating himself.
He urged anyone interested to check his social media platforms, including YouTube and TikTok, for details.
“I’ve said a lot already. I don’t want to be repeating myself. Anybody that wants to know anything about the DNA should go to my YouTube channel or my TikTok and they’ll see everything there.”
The late singer's father added that his main concern was the pressure he felt from certain powerful figures in Lagos State, claiming that they were trying to frustrate him.
“The most important issue that happens to me that is still bothering me is about the Lagos State. The Lagos State with the one powerful man that’s combined together, they want to use this thing to frustrate me. I’m not happy as you see me.”
