Mohbad paternity DNA testing legal dispute
Overview
Legal proceedings regarding DNA testing to determine the paternity of the late singer Mohbad’s son, Liam, have faced delays due to family concerns over transparency.
In mid-October, a court hearing was adjourned to November 16 after the family, including Mohbad’s father Joseph Aloba, raised reservations about the designated testing center. The family questioned whether the facility would perform the tests directly or act as a courier for samples sent to another laboratory, citing past instances where sample transfers led to inconclusive findings. A court-appointed welfare officer was assigned to investigate these concerns.
By late October, the family formally requested a postponement of a DNA test scheduled for October 31 at the Mainland General Hospital in Yaba, Lagos. Family head Samuel Aloba demanded the accreditation details and address of a United States laboratory reportedly expected to analyze the biological samples. The family is seeking a documented chain of custody to ensure the integrity of specimens being sent abroad.
