Father of late singer Mohbad speaks on DNA controversy, debunks fundraising rumours

The father of late singer Mohbad has addressed ongoing issues surrounding his son’s case, thanking those who have supported efforts to ensure justice is served.

He also clarified reports circulating online that claimed he was asking Naira Marley and VDM for money to pay rent. According to him, the claims are false. He stated that he is a landlord and does not require financial assistance for housing.

On the main issue, Mohbad’s father said his lawyer recently informed him that the DNA testing centers chosen to confirm paternity for Mohbad’s son are not legitimate. He claimed that the center picked by the Lagos State welfare officer, as well as the one chosen by the late singer’s wife’s lawyer, were both fake.

He said the situation suggests that some individuals may be trying to prevent the truth from being established. He called on the Lagos State government to intervene, noting that the DNA test is crucial before any final burial arrangements can be made for Mohbad.
