Two out of the three laboratories authorized by the Magistrate Court sitting in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State, have declined paternity tests on late singer Mohbad’s alleged son, Liam.

This comes amid the ongoing dispute between Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba and his widow, Wunmi.

Recall that the Magistrate Court had three weeks ago approved three laboratories in the United States and United Kingdom for the DNA tests on Liam.

The court had independently picked Advanced Histopathology Laboratory Limited, London, United Kingdom
while Wunmi submitted Alpha Bio Labs in Warrington, United Kingdom. Mohbad’s father picked DNA Diagnostics Centre, Fairfield, Ohio, US.

However, in a statement on Thursday, the counsel to the singer’s father, Oladayo Ogungbe, disclosed that the two laboratories picked by Wunmi and the court have indicated that “they do not conduct post-mortem DNA testing involving embalmed bodies”.

Ogungbe explained that Advanced Histopathology Laboratory Limited, London, United Kingdom, and Alpha Bio Labs, Warrington, United Kingdom, made this known after preliminary inquiries by Joseph Aloba’s representative to ascertain whether the listed laboratories possessed the technical capacity to conduct such test.

Recall that singer Mohbad mysteriously died in September 2023, and buried the next day. His body was exhumed after seven days following public outcry.

Following the circumstances surrounding his death, his father demanded a DNA test on his son.
