A Lagos State Magistrate Court sitting in Ikorodu has approved three foreign laboratories to conduct a DNA test on Liam, the son of late singer Mohbad.
Counsel to Mohbad’s father, Oladayo Ogungbe, disclosed this after the court session, stating that the approved facilities include one laboratory in the United States and two in the United Kingdom.
According to him, the selection followed agreement by the parties involved, with the singer’s widow, Wunmi, and his father, Joseph Aloba, picking one laboratory each, while the court selected an independent laboratory.
“The court has eventually picked three DNA laboratory centres, two in the United Kingdom and one in the United States. One from us, one from them, and the court picked an independent one,” Ogungbe said.
He added that all parties will be present during the collection of samples, which will be monitored by welfare officers.
The development follows a demand by Mohbad’s father for a DNA test on Liam after the singer’s death in September 2023 at his residence.
The matter was adjourned to April 7, 2026, for the collection of samples.
