The mystery surrounding the death of Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has taken another dramatic turn after his father, Joseph Aloba, made a fresh and disturbing allegation linking his son’s death to the controversial DNA and paternity dispute.
In an emotional appeal that has sparked fresh reactions online, Joseph alleged that issues surrounding DNA testing and paternity were connected to his son’s death, claiming that the information came from a friend of the late singer.
“Mohbad was killed because of DNA. I’m saying it now for the whole world to hear. Mohbad was killed because of DNA, his friend told me. He was killed because of paternity,” he reportedly declared.
The grieving father went further to accuse a woman he described as a concubine of being responsible for his son’s death, insisting that he had reasons for making the allegation. However, he did not publicly provide evidence to substantiate the claims.
His latest comments have once again dragged the unresolved circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death into the spotlight, with Nigerians demanding answers about what really happened to the singer.
Mohbad died on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27. His sudden death triggered nationwide outrage, protests and calls for a thorough investigation.
Beyond the investigation into his death, the singer’s family has also been embroiled in a prolonged dispute over the paternity of Liam, his son with his wife, Omowunmi Aloba.
The controversy recently reached another important stage after DNA samples were collected from Mohbad’s remains and Liam on October 31, 2026, under court supervision in Lagos.
The samples were subsequently taken to the Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre for examination. However, the official results have not yet been announced.
The latest development has therefore raised even more questions, particularly as the court-supervised DNA process is expected to help resolve the long-running paternity dispute.
Meanwhile, Nigerians have continued to demand justice for the late singer, insisting that the circumstances surrounding his death must be thoroughly investigated.
For many fans, Mohbad’s story remains an open wound. Nearly three years after his passing, the questions surrounding his final days continue to generate controversy.
