The family of late singer Mohbad is now seeking a delay to the DNA test for the singer’s son, Liam.
The family head, Samuel Aloba, in a statement issued on Friday, questioned plans to transport the specimens from Lagos to an unidentified laboratory in the United States.
The singer’s family is asking for clarification on whether the Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre will conduct the analysis or merely send the samples abroad.
His family is also demanding the US laboratory name, address, accreditation, technical capabilities, and details of the experts handling the samples.
In addition, the family requested proper documentation of the collection, labelling, preservation, transportation, and examination of the specimens to prevent possible contamination, substitution, or mishandling.
“The Aloba family respectfully calls for the postponement of the DNA examination scheduled for 31 October, 2026, pending adequate clarification of the outstanding concerns.
For the avoidance of doubt, the family is not presenting the possibility of manipulation as a fact, nor is it asserting that the proposed examination has already been compromised”.
The Ikorodu Magistrates Court has adjourned the case till November 16th and appointed a new officer to address concerns surrounding the testing arrangements.
