Joseph Aloba, father of the late Nigerian singer Mohbad, has claimed he paid N16 million to a pathologist for a second autopsy on his son.
He made the statement during a recent TikTok live session, saying, “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.”
Aloba was responding to reports suggesting he paid only N12 million. “I’m still telling you now that I paid N16 million,” he added.
His revelation comes a month after an independent autopsy and forensic review by Dr. Uwom Eze failed to determine Mohbad’s cause of death.
In June 2024, a Coroner Court in Ikorodu, Lagos State, presided over by Magistrate T.A. Shotobi, granted Aloba permission to hire a licensed pathologist for the independent examination.
