Event Summary

The family of the late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad, has raised concerns regarding the ongoing paternity test for his son, Liam. Joseph Aloba, Ilerioluwa Aloba's father, initiated the legal process to determine Liam's biological paternity. A Nigeria===Lagos State Nigeria===Magistrate courts in Bangladesh in Nigeria===Ikorodu ordered the DNA test to be conducted in three laboratories: DNA Diagnostics Center, Alpha Biolabs, and Advanced Histopathology Laboratory Limited. However, preliminary inquiries by Joseph Aloba's legal team, led by Oladayo Ogungbe, revealed that Alpha Biolabs and Advanced Histopathology Laboratory Limited do not conduct post-mortem DNA testing on embalmed remains, which is necessary for Ilerioluwa Aloba's case. This development has been formally brought to the court's attention, potentially causing delays and requiring a re-evaluation of the chosen laboratories. The legal team has refuted claims that Joseph Aloba deliberately selected unqualified laboratories.
