Mohbad: Court-authorized UK labs decline paternity test on Liam

Two out of the three laboratories authorized by the Magistrate Court sitting in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State, have declined paternity tests on late singer Mohbad’s alleged son, Liam.

This comes amid the ongoing dispute between Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba and his widow, Wunmi.

DAILY POST recalls that the Magistrate Court had three weeks ago approved three laboratories in the United States and United Kingdom for the DNA tests on Liam.

The court had independently picked Advanced Histopathology Laboratory Limited, London, United Kingdom
while Wunmi submitted Alpha Bio Labs in Warrington, United Kingdom. Mohbad’s father picked DNA Diagnostics Centre, Fairfield, Ohio, US.

However, in a statement on Thursday, the counsel to the singer’s father, Oladayo Ogungbe, disclosed that the two laboratories picked by Wunmi and the court have indicated that “they do not conduct post-mortem DNA testing involving embalmed bodies”.

Ogungbe explained that Advanced Histopathology Laboratory Limited, London, United Kingdom, and Alpha Bio Labs, Warrington, United Kingdom, made this known after preliminary inquiries by Joseph Aloba’s representative to ascertain whether the listed laboratories possessed the technical capacity to conduct such test.

DAILY POST reports that singer Mohbad mysteriously died in September 2023, and buried the next day. His body was exhumed after seven days following public outcry.

Following the circumstances surrounding his death, his father demanded a DNA test on his son.

Arsenal star, Eberechi Eze, has become the second English player to score for the Gunners in the Premier League, Carabao Cup, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League in the same season, after Theo Walcott in the 2012-13 season.

According to ESPN FC, Eze achieved this feat after scoring for Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 second-leg tie against Bayer Leverkusen this week.

The England international was on the score sheet as Arsenal defeated the Bundesliga side 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium to progress to the Champions League quarter-final stage.

The 27-year-old joined Arsenal from Crystal Palace during the summer transfer window last year.

Eze has been impressive for Mikel Arteta’s side so far and has scored in all four competitions Arsenal is participating in this season.

He will now hope to lead Arsenal to lift the Carabao Cup when they face Manchester City in the final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

‘I dumped my gold in Lagoon’- Adeboye’s wife reveals

The wife of renowned Nigerian cleric, Enoch Adeboye, Pastor Foluke Adeboye, has opened up about the drastic personal sacrifice she made after giving her life to Christ.

In a resurfaced throwback video currently circulating online, Folu Adeboye shared how her lifestyle changed dramatically in the early days of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG.

She revealed that before becoming born again, she had a strong passion for fashion and owned several gold items, including jewellery that she had already set aside for her young child, who was under two years old at the time.

However, after joining the church where wearing such items was discouraged, she made a bold decision to part with them entirely.

“Every woman loves fashion,” she said. “By the time we became born again, it was a taboo for you to have them.”

Rather than keep or sell the valuables, Folu said she threw all her gold possessions into the lagoon.

She recalled that a family friend had questioned her choice, suggesting she could have given the items to her mother to sell. But she declined.

“Whatever is not good for me is not good for my mother,” she explained.

Folu also revealed that she briefly turned to copper accessories as an alternative, admitting she spent significantly on them at the time.

Despite the scale of her sacrifice, she maintains she has no regrets.

“What would I say I miss? Not much, I have already sold myself,” she added.
