The father of late Nigerian singer Mohbad has alleged that his son was killed over issues surrounding DNA testing and the paternity of a child.

In a statement, Joseph Aloba claimed that a friend told him Mohbad was killed because of DNA-related issues, insisting that the matter was connected to paternity.

“Mohbad was killed because of DNA. I’m saying it now for the whole world to hear. Mohbad was killed because of DNA, his friend told me. He was killed because of paternity,” he said.

Making an emotional appeal for help, he added: “I said concubine killed Mohbad. I know what I’m saying. Help me. Please, any way you can be of help please help me. And those that are standing by me will not be put to shame.”

The claims remain allegations and have not been independently verified. Authorities have previously investigated the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death in 2023, while a separate court process continues over the paternity of his son.
