Counsel to Mohbad’s father, Oladayo Ogungbe, confirmed the development following the court proceedings.
According to Ogungbe, the court approved one laboratory in the United States and two in the United Kingdom to carry out the test.
While explaining that all parties will be present for the collection of samples, he noted that the singer’s widow, Wunmi, and Joseph Aloba, his father picked one laboratory each while the court also picked an independent one.
It was reported that the development came after Mohbad’s father demanded a DNA test on Liam following the circumstances surrounding the singer’s death in September 2023 at his residence.
“The court has eventually picked three DNA Laboratory centres, two in the United Kingdom and one in the United States. One from us, one from them, and the court picked an independent one,” he said.
The matter was, however, adjourned to April 7 2026 for collection of samples which will be monitored by welfare officers.
