Father of late singer Mohbad, Joseph Aloba has shared during an interview with TVC why his son is yet to be buried.
Speaking with the reporter, he shared that the singer’s burial is being delayed because the DNA and autopsy result are yet to be out.
Recall that after the singer died, investigations were being carried out to find out the reason behind the singer’s untimely death.
It was also reported that the toxicology and autopsy test were been carried out outside the country due to the lack of facilities in Nigeria.
Mohbad’s father started by acknowledging that he once buried his child, but his body was later exhumed to assist the ongoing investigation.
When asked by the reporter if he was aware that the DNA has to do with the family and not the police, he responded by saying the family needs the DNA result, because they have no idea where his grandchild, Liam’s, placenta was buried.
He said,
“When Liam was born, I have no idea who his placenta was handed over too, because immediately Liam was birthed, my son called me and I responded, then he said no need again and this has been happening for a long time now. I remember when he bought a land and his mother-in-law was the one in charge of the land, the same thing happened in the case of his placenta, were he told me not to bother, that he has arranged for people who will bury it. It was after his wife made mention of it that I remembered and questioned myself regarding who was with the placenta. [sic]”
Mohbad’s father also revealed that, in their tradition it is the fathers family who is suppose to take care of the placenta but that opportunity was not given to him.
Mohbad’s father has now stated that no matter how long it takes for the DNA result and autopsy result to be out, they would wait till then.
