A Lagos High Court has ordered three separate DNA tests to be conducted abroad to determine the paternity of Liam, the son of late singer Mohbad. The tests will be done using tissue samples, and all three results must match before the court accepts the outcome.
The court directed that each party involved in the case select one foreign laboratory, while the court will choose the third. This decision follows an application by Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, who sought a DNA test to confirm Liam’s paternity amid uncertainty.
The matter has been adjourned to February 10, 2026, for further proceedings. Mohbad’s death has sparked widespread tributes and calls for justice, and this development is likely to reignite conversations about his legacy and the future of his son.
