Iyabo Ojo Expresses Regret Over Advocating Mohbad’s Exhumation

Actress Iyabo Ojo opens up about her regrets for supporting the exhumation of late singer Mohbad, reflecting on the controversy surrounding the decision.

Iyabo Ojo, a well-known Nollywood actress, has expressed regret over supporting the exhumation of the late singer Mohbad.

During an interview with Biola Bayo on the ‘Talk to B’ podcast, Iyabo Ojo shared her regret concerning the burial delays and ongoing disputes within the singer’s family.

I wouldn’t have asked for Mohbad to be exhumed if I had known his case would end up like this.

“He hasn’t been buried yet. His dad insists on a DNA test, and I heard the court has approved this request. However, there are rumors that his dad has set some conditions.”

I simply wanted Mohbad’s body exhumed to conduct an autopsy and determine the cause of his death.

“I made every effort to ensure that everyone was investigated, but when they proposed different theories, DNA evidence became their priority.”

remembers that Mohbad passed away on September 12, 2023 under controversial circumstances and was laid to rest the next day.

However, the Lagos state police exhumed his body for an autopsy on September 21, 2023.

In October 2023, Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, asserted that the singer would not be reburied until a DNA test was carried out on his son Liam.
