According to Oladayo Ogungbe, lawyer to Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, both labs explained that they do not handle post‑mortem DNA testing on embalmed bodies. Mohbad’s remains were embalmed after his death in September 2023, and the chemicals used during embalming make it extremely difficult to extract viable DNA from tissue samples.
The two labs — Alpha Biolabs (chosen by Liam’s mother, Wunmi) and Advanced Histopathology Laboratory Limited in London (selected by the court) confirmed they lack the facilities for this type of testing.
This update was communicated before any sample collection began.
The court order issued on February 24, 2026, by the Ikorodu Magistrate Court had mandated DNA testing at three different labs for fairness and transparency:
• DNA Diagnostics Center, Fairfield, Ohio, USA (chosen by Joseph Aloba)
• Alpha Biolabs, Warrington, UK
• Advanced Histopathology Laboratory Limited, London, UK
With the two UK labs now ruled out, the US lab remains the only viable option since it has not reported any limitations regarding embalmed remains.
The case continues, and the next hearing is scheduled for April 2, 2026.

They should bury this guy and let Nigerians move on! Haba!! Almost 3 years now and he's still at the Morgue, so sad!..
ReplyDeleteKelvin Dat Edo Boi...
You are the one that hasn't moved in. The father of the late singer is a YouTuber regular and has even inherited his clothes.
DeleteThey should bury this guy like that na
ReplyDeleteChai!
ReplyDeleteIf that is the case, test Mohbad's son and Mohbad's biological father. If there are traces of DNA, I think that will serve as a consolation and clear all doubts.
ReplyDeleteIt is risky to test Mohbad's father, on the offchance that he is Mohbad's biological father. It's better to test Mohbad's mother instead, and see if her genes/DNA makeup are similar with Liam's.

DeleteIt is better to do the test with Mohbad's mother because his father might not be his biological father.
DeleteVery risky @15:03
DeleteWhat if Mr Joseph is not Mohbad's biological father, it is very possible.
They should bury this guy now... Haba
ReplyDeleteSince 2023..

ReplyDeleteSo how were they able to carry the DNA test in Nigeria laboratory since mobad was embalmed immediately after death
ReplyDeleteHaaaaaaa kilode, make den burry this guy nau after 3 yrs still in the mortuary 😔
ReplyDeleteEven taking high dose pharmaceutical drugs can change your dna and give wrong results.
ReplyDeleteThe baby looks more like Mohbad than Mohbad looks like his own father. Lmao, the irony of it all.
ReplyDeleteIf one was to go by looks alone, it could be easily speculated about Mohbad’s own paternity. The father has a distinctive nose and such noses are typically passed on.
DeleteMohbads DNA samples can be collected from biological material containing his hair follicles, fingernails. Other reliable sources include teeth, bones, common personal items, such as toothbrush, comb, brush, clippers, c!garette/wēēd butts, clothing, and cups, can also yield DNA
ReplyDeletePlease be very careful before marrying into a family and watch out for for your kids future spouses , Some families Have generational curses that can never be wiped out an examplé is mohbads family, Haba kilode?
