Joseph Aloba, the father of the late Nigerian recording artiste, Ilerioluwa Aloba, who is better known as Mohbad, has stated that he paid a pathologist N16 million for his son’s second autopsy.
Joseph Aloba made this claim during his recent TikTok live session.
He said: “With all sincerity, I paid the first tranche of N16 million to the pathologist. After that, I spent close to N2 million. So, if the pathologist can come out to deny my claim, then don’t believe me again.
“Some people were saying it was N12 million that I paid, but I’m still telling you now that I paid N16 million.”

It was gathered that Aloba made the revelation a month after the independent autopsy and forensic medical review on Mohbad’s body by Dr. Uwom Eze failed to determine the cause of his death.
In June 2024, T.A. Shotobi, a Coroner Court magistrate in Ikorodu, Lagos State, granted permission to the singer’s father to hire a licensed pathologist for an independent autopsy.
