The father of late singer Mohbad, Joseph Aloba, has revealed that he paid a pathologist ₦16 million for his son’s second autopsy.
Speaking during a recent TikTok live session, Aloba said, “With all sincerity, I paid the first tranche of ₦16 million to the pathologist. After that, I spent close to ₦2 million. So, if the pathologist can come out to deny my claim, then don’t believe me again. Some people were saying it was ₦12 million that I paid, but I’m still telling you now that I paid ₦16 million.”
His statement comes about a month after an independent autopsy and forensic review by Dr. Uwom Eze failed to determine the cause of Mohbad’s death.
In June 2024, a Coroner Court magistrate in Ikorodu, Lagos State, T.A. Shotobi, granted Aloba permission to engage a licensed pathologist for an independent examination.
