Mohbad’s Father Refused To Pick Late Son’s Body For Burial Over DNA – Police

The Lagos State Police Command has clarified the reason behind Joseph Aloba, the father of late singer Mohbad, not reburying his late son.

KanyiDaily recalls that Mohbad’s mother recently claimed the singer’s body was released to the father who refused to re-bury it.

A report by Linda Ikeji’s blog (LIB) said the police had informed Joseph Aloba that he can collect Mohbad’s corpse at any time, but he has not yet applied for it.

A police source said that only Mohbad’s father can apply for the release of the corpse, and the police assured that once an application is submitted, the body will be released promptly.

The source noted that the delay is due to the father’s decision, citing his insistence on conducting a DNA test as their family matter.

‘’The body is in the morgue. It has not been released. It wouldn’t be released to you and you wouldn’t come and pick it. The hospital wouldn’t allow it.

“Only the father can apply for the release of the corpse, only the father and the police has said any day he applies, he would get it immediately.

“We have told them, anytime they want it, just write an application but the father has refused to do that. Technically, it is the father that is holding back.

“The father has said he is not taking it yet until they do DNA and that is their personal family problem. If the man writes today, of course it will be released and he must carry the corpse. You can’t write and keep it there. For who?”

Meanwhile, Mohbad’s wife, Omawunmi Aloba has refuted all the allegations made against her by her father-in-law, Joseph Aloba.
