Actress Iyabo Ojo, in a recent Instagram live session, came to the defense of Mohbad’s family and urged Nigerians to respect their grief. She addressed those calling for a DNA test to be conducted on Mohbad’s five-month-old son, Liam, stating that a thorough investigation is already underway to determine the cause of the singer’s death. According to Ojo, it is not the place of people to make such a request but rather Mohbad’s parents, who are still mourning the loss of their son. She called upon Nigerians to allow Mohbad’s wife to mourn her husband and to refrain from distracting the investigation with requests that border on bullying.
While some Nigerians agreed with Ojo’s stance and supported her call for respect, others argued that a DNA test would not hinder the ongoing investigation. However, Ojo’s message resonated with many who felt that it was unnecessary for strangers to question the paternity of Mohbad’s son when the singer himself had not rejected the child. These individuals felt that the request was baseless and only served to cause further distress to the grieving family.
In related news, Larry Omordia, the CEO of African TV, recently challenged Mohbad’s wife, Omawunmi Aloba, to prove the paternity of her son, Liam. Omordia stated that it was important for her to prove her innocence amid the controversies surrounding her husband’s death. He even promised to provide N10 million if a DNA test confirmed that Liam was indeed Mohbad’s son.
The debate around whether a DNA test is necessary in this situation continues, with some arguing that it is crucial for justice to prevail, while others believe it to be a distraction from the main investigation. However, it is ultimately up to Mohbad’s family to decide whether to pursue a DNA test in order to put the matter to rest.
As the investigation into Mohbad’s death progresses, it is important for the public to respect the privacy and grieving process of his family. The focus should remain on finding the truth surrounding his passing rather than engaging in unnecessary speculation.
