She expressed her regret following the burial delays and the ongoing disputes within the singer’s family.
Nigerian actress, Iyabo Ojo has stated that she regrets advocating for the late singer Mohbad’s exhumation because of how the case turned out.
According to her, she only wanted an autopsy to be carried out to ascertain the cause of his death and for those responsible to face the wrath of the law.
Iyabo Ojo during an interview with Biola Bayo on the ‘Talk to B’ podcast, expressed her regret following the burial delays and the ongoing disputes within the singer’s family.
“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.”
Recall that Mohbad died on 12 September 2023 in a controversial manner, and buried the following day.
His body was, however, exhumed by the Lagos state police for an autopsy on September 21, 2023.
In October 2023, 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.
