The father of the late singer Mohbad, Joseph Aloba, has revealed that he paid a pathologist ₦16 million to conduct a second autopsy on his son.
Aloba disclosed this information during a recent live session on TikTok.
“With all sincerity, I paid the first tranche of N16 million to the pathologist. After that, I spent close to N2 million. So, if the pathologist can come out to deny my claim, then don’t believe me again.
“Some people were saying it was N12 million that I paid, but I’m still telling you now that I paid N16 million.”
According to reports, Aloba’s disclosure comes a month after an independent autopsy and forensic medical review conducted by Dr. Uwom Eze was unable to determine the cause of Mohbad’s death.
In June 2024, T.A. Shotobi, a Coroner Court magistrate in Ikorodu, Lagos State, authorized the singer’s father to engage a licensed pathologist for an independent autopsy.
