Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has expressed remorse over her initial advocacy for the exhumation of late singer Mohbad’s body. In a recent appearance on the Talk to B podcast, hosted by Biola Bayo, Iyabo Ojo revealed that her intention was to push for an autopsy to determine the true cause of Mohbad’s death.
Mohbad passed away on September 12, 2023, under contentious circumstances, and was initially buried the following day. However, the Lagos State Police exhumed his body on September 21, 2023, for an autopsy.Iyabo Ojo admitted that she would not have supported the exhumation if she had anticipated the prolonged and contentious burial process. “I wouldn’t have requested that Mohbad be exhumed if I knew his case would turn out this way,” she stated.
The situation has taken an unexpected turn, with the autopsy being overshadowed by family disputes, particularly the demand for a DNA test on Mohbad’s son, Liam, by the singer’s father, Joseph Aloba. Iyabo Ojo explained that her primary goal was to ensure a thorough investigation into Mohbad’s death, but the family’s focus on the DNA test has complicated the matter.
