Mohbad's Family Demands Lab Identity for DNA Test

The family of late singer Mohbad has demanded the disclosure of the identity of a United States laboratory that is expected to conduct a DNA test to determine the paternity of Liam, Mohbad's son. They have requested a postponement of the examination scheduled for Saturday, October 31, at the Mainland General Hospital/IDH in Yaba, Lagos, until their concerns regarding transparency and compliance with a court order are addressed.

In a statement signed by family head Samuel Aloba, they expressed apprehension about the arrangements for the tissue-based DNA examination, particularly regarding whether the Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre would conduct the examination or merely collect and send samples to the US. The family seeks clarity on the laboratory's identity, accreditation, testing procedures, and a mechanism to verify sample integrity.

They emphasized that their concerns are not meant to obstruct the judicial process but to ensure the examination's validity and transparency.
