Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has expressed regrets over the situation surrounding the death of the late Nigerian singer, Mohbad, after the exhumation of his corpse.
Naija News recalls that Mohbad died on 12 September 2023 in controversial circumstances, and was buried the following day.
The Lagos state police exhumed his body for an autopsy on September 21, 2023.
However, after the autopsy, Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, insisted that the singer would not be reburied until a DNA test is conducted on the singer’s son, Liam.
In an interview with her colleague, Biola Adebayo, on the ‘Talk to B’ YouTube podcast, Iyabo Ojo said she regrets advocating for Mohbad’s exhumation due to the burial delays and the ongoing disputes within the singer’s family.
He said, “I wouldn’t have requested that Mohbad be exhumed If I knew his case would turn out this way.
“He hasn’t been buried till now. His dad says he wants DNA test done, and I heard the court has granted his request. But I heard his dad has conditions again.
“I just wanted Mohbad’s body exhumed so they could do the autopsy to find out the cause of his death.
“I did my best to be sure that everyone was investigated but when they came up with different theories, DNA became more important to them.”
