ALOBA: Singer #MohBad Was Killed Because He Demanded DNA Test
THE father of late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as MohBad, Joseph Aloba, has alleged that his son was killed because he demanded a DNA test to establish the paternity of his child.
Joseph made the allegation while appealing to Nigerians for assistance, claiming that a friend of the deceased singer told him that the controversy surrounding the paternity of MohBad’s son was connected to his death.
“Nigerians, please help me. MohBad was killed because he demanded DNA. His friend told me,” Joseph reportedly said.
He further alleged that a woman he described as a concubine was responsible for his son’s death, insisting that he had reasons for making the accusation.
“I said concubine killed MohBad. I know what I’m saying. Help me. Please, any way you can be of help, please help me. And those that are standing by me will not be put to shame,” he added.
The latest allegation comes amid the prolonged controversy surrounding the paternity of Liam, MohBad’s son with his wife, Omowunmi Aloba.
Joseph has repeatedly questioned Liam’s paternity and demanded a DNA examination to establish whether the child was biologically related to his late son.
The disagreement has generated tensions within the Aloba family and triggered legal proceedings over the proposed DNA examination.
The paternity dispute has also been complicated by disagreements over the laboratory to conduct the test, the transportation of biological samples and procedures for ensuring the integrity of the examination.
Reports indicate that biological samples were collected from MohBad’s remains and Liam on 31st October 2026, for DNA analysis, although the outcome has yet to be publicly announced.
MohBad died on 12th September 2023, at the age of 27, under circumstances that sparked nationwide outrage and widespread demands for justice.
His remains were exhumed on 21st September 2023, nine days after his burial, to enable an autopsy aimed at determining the circumstances surrounding his death.
The singer’s death generated considerable controversy, with allegations of intimidation, assault and other misconduct involving individuals within his circle attracting public attention.
However, the circumstances surrounding his death have remained a subject of public debate, with his family continuing to demand answers.
Joseph’s latest claim has further intensified calls for a comprehensive investigation into the singer’s death.
However, his allegation that MohBad was killed because he demanded a DNA test has not been independently established, and no publicly confirmed investigative finding has demonstrated a connection between the paternity dispute and the singer’s death.
The outcome of the DNA examination and further findings from investigations into Mohbad’s death are expected to be significant in addressing some of the unresolved questions surrounding the controversy.
