The father of late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has spoken out on why his son’s burial has been delayed.

Mr Joseph Aloba also addressed the controversy surrounding his grandson Liam’s DNA.

In a recent interview with Channels TV, Mr Aloba said his vision is to uncover the truth about what killed his son before any final burial can take place.

“My vision is to know exactly what killed Mohbad. Once I have the answers, I’ll work on reconciling with Liam and Wumi. I’ll even go on any media platform to claim Liam as my grandson. But now, I can’t do all that because we are still at the war front,” he stated.

He stressed that Mohbad’s remains are vital evidence in the ongoing investigation, noting that burying the body now would compromise DNA testing. “The reason his remains haven’t been reburied is that his body is evidence, and a DNA test is necessary. If we bury him now, the DNA evidence will be compromised,” he explained.

Mr Aloba also expressed frustration with how authorities have handled the case.

He appealed to the Inspector General of Police to reassign officers to ensure a fair investigation.

“They can change the nature of that environment with just a bottle of wine and 100,000 Naira. That means they are compromised. They should help me change them. They should investigate this case,” he pleaded.

Acknowledging Yoruba cultural traditions, Mr Aloba admitted that delaying a child’s burial is considered taboo. He said his initial instinct was to bury Mohbad immediately, but the exhumation ordered by authorities has prolonged the process.
