Late Nigerian singer Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, has claimed that he has not had access to his late son’s child, Liam, since the singer’s death.

Mr Aloba made this remark amid ongoing public controversies surrounding the custody of the child and family relations as the battle for a DNA test intensified.

Speaking in a recent interview with Channels TV, Aloba said communication between him and Mohbad’s partner has remained strained, adding that he has not been allowed to have access to his grandson.

“There’s nothing like that. Since Mohbad’s death, the lady has been carrying the baby all about. I don’t have access to him,” he said.

Aloba also reflected on his relationship with Mohbad’s partner while the singer was alive. “You know, I’m someone who loves my son. So when I love my son, automatically, I must love his friend, which is his girlfriend.

He introduced her to me and told me this is my girl and she is pregnant for me, and it’s going to be acceptable by me as a good father. And I thought this was the right thing to do.”

He further recounted confusion around the introduction ceremony involving both families. “Firstly, he told me he wanted to do the introduction.

“But suddenly, on the introduction day, unexpectedly, he called me and said that was where the introduction was happening. I was confused because I saw a crowd and wasn’t sure if it was just a simple introduction for both families to meet.”

Aloba added that Mohbad later told him he would no longer be involved in certain arrangements and would be able to do more.

“And he told me it was not even suitable for me. He said he had a feeling that his wife was cheating on him.”
