Father of Mohbad, Joseph Aloba, has joined fringe elements on social media to demand that a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) test be conducted on his grandson.
A DNA test is done to resolve paternity issues. There is no evidence that Mohbad, while alive, doubted his paternity of the child.
Mohbad’s death on September 12, inspired conspiracy theorists into alleging he might not be the actual father of the child. Mohbad’s father, appeared infected by the view.
In an interview with BBC Pidgin on Tuesday, he said he and his late son were very close. According to the father, he regarded his son as a buddy and that the two of them interacted like brothers.
