Joseph Aloba, baba wa marehemu mwimbaji wa Afrobeat, Mohbad, amechukizwa na uamuzi wa kuhamisha mwili wa mwanawe kwaajili ya maziko kabla ya DNA.
Itakumbukwa kuwa baadhi ya watu mashuhuri, Tonto Dikeh, Bella Shmurda na wengine walianza harakati za kuuondoa mwili wa marehemu mwimbaji kutoka chumba cha kuhifadhia maiti kwa ajili ya mazishi yanayostahili na ya heshima .
‘Hakuna mtu anayepaswa kuthubutu kusogeza mwili wa mwanangu, DNA ni muhimu’ – baba wa Mohbad
Wazo hilo lilichochewa miezi miwili baada ya kufukuliwa kwa Mohbad na polisi kwa madhumuni ya uchunguzi.
Akijibu, alilaani hatua kama hizo huku akisisitiza kwamba kama hilo lingetokea, ni haki yake kuidhinisha na si kinyume chake.
“I’ve been hearing maybe some people want to go and carry Mohbad’s body. When this boy was alive, he was my son, now that he’s gone, he still retains my name. Nobody should go and carry Mohbad’s body from there. If there’s anything you want to do, I should be the one to authorize it. Let’s get justice for Mohbad; after burial wetin remain? Let justice prevail first; the DNA is necessary.”
