Mohbad’s family questions DNA testing arrangements
According to a PUNCH Newspaper report, the family specifically requested the identity, address and accreditation details of the United States laboratory expected to analyse the samples.
It also questioned whether the Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre, which it said was designated in a May 5, 2026 court order, would conduct the examination or simply collect samples for shipment abroad.
According to the statement, the family wants clear procedures to ensure that samples collected in Lagos are properly preserved and that the same samples eventually reach the overseas laboratory.
The Alobas expressed concern about possible mishandling or interference but clarified that they were not claiming that any manipulation had already taken place.
Mohbad's family explains why it wants postponement
The family maintained that its position was not an attempt to frustrate the paternity investigation.
Rather, it said transparency and proper safeguards were necessary to protect the credibility of the examination.
It consequently requested adequate notice to all parties and further court directions where necessary before the exercise proceeds.
Mohbad died on September 12, 2023, aged 27. The paternity of Liam has remained a subject of dispute involving the singer’s father, Joseph Aloba, and his widow, Omowunmi Aloba.
