The father of late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, Mr. Joseph Aloba, believes that a DNA test should be conducted on his grandson, Liam, and that he should be present during the process. There has been much discussion among Nigerians about the necessity of the test to determine the true paternity of the child. During an interview with Stams TV, Mohbad’s father stressed the importance of the test, stating that it was a matter of national concern. He also clarified that no DNA test has been conducted yet without his consent and presence. Mr. Aloba believes that the test should be carried out in two different hospitals to ensure accurate results.
“Concerning the DNA test, it’s a must they do it. Nigerians are demanding for it. I heard rumours that they did it but no matter what, I’m Mohbad’s father so I’ll give consent on the DNA test or send anyone who can represent me during the test if I’m not there to know how they’ll do it. And even when they want to do it, it should be done in two different places so we can be very sure and know the truth.
“Also, where I am from in Ikere Ekiti, even Olu Ikere just left my side now after paying me a visit. We don’t accept bastards where I’m from, but it will be a thing of joy for me if this child is Mohbad’s because this is the only child he said he left for me. Three days before his death, I was with him, he even served me food and he put Liam on my hands and he was taking pictures.
“So I’ll be very happy if Liam is Mohbad’s son because I love the child. But if it turns out that Liam is not his son, it won’t be good if we don’t find out now because of the future so that even late Mohbad shouldn’t be blaming me that I accepted something like this in. So the DNA is very necessary.”
