A magistrate court sitting in Ikorodu, Lagos State, on Tuesday ruled that DNA tests will be conducted on late Mohbad’s son, Liam Aloba.
Magistrate Adefisoye Sonuga was delivering his judgment on an application filed by Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba.
Mohbad’s widow, Omowunmi Cynthia Aloba, was listed as the respondent in the suit.
When the matter came up for hearing, Joseph Aloba’s counsel, Augustine Adegbemi, moved the motion, while Omowumi’s lawyer, Kabir Akingbolu, raised no opposition.
Magistrate Sonuga subsequently ordered that two DNA tests be conducted on Mohbad’s son
One will be done in Nigeria and the other outside the country. Both tests will be carried out in accredited and recognised hospitals, with both parties or their representatives present when the samples are collected.
The case has been adjourned to November 11.

Nigerian rapper Azeez Fashola, aka Naira Marley, wants the Lagos State Police Command to reopen the investigation into the death of Mohbad.
He stated this while recounting his side of the story about his alleged involvement in Mohbad’s death in a video broadcast via his YouTube channel on Tuesday.
While maintaining his innocence in the singer’s death, Naira Marley urged the police to re-arrest him, his associate Samsan Balogun, aka Samlarry, and all others accused of involvement in Mohbad’s death.
He demanded that a trustworthy officer be put in charge of the case this time.
“I came back to Nigeria to support the police because I can see fingers pointing our ways. So I had to come back so that they can actually have nothing to do with it and check whoever so that he can get justice,” he said.
“I was in Panti for two months. After I came out from Panti, I was fighting for my passport. They held my passport. I was like, it’s okay to question me [over Mohbad’s death], but there’s no reason to detain me. I haven’t seen him for over a year.
But it’s okay. There was a conspiracy and a gang-up to keep me there. As you can see, the group chat got leaked. They even mentioned the name of the officer in charge of the case in Panti. They were also talking about judge.
“If you ask me, I will tell the Police to arrest everybody again. Put an officer we can trust in charge,” he said.
