Mr Joseph Aloba, father of the late Nigerian musician, Mohbad, has stated that a DNA test on his grandson must be performed in his presence.
Calls for a DNA test on the late singer’s son, Liam, to determine his genuine paternity have divided Nigerians.
In a recent interview with Stams TV, senior Aloba stated that a DNA test on his grandson is required, emphasizing that it has become a national priority.
In response to rumors that a DNA test had been performed, he stated that such a test could not be performed without his agreement.
He insisted on being present or sending a representative before the DNA test could be performed.
Even yet, Aloba stated that it would be undertaken at two different hospitals to ensure the outcome.
He said, “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.”
