Popular Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has expressed regret over her earlier push for the exhumation of the late singer Mohbad.

In an emotional interview on the 'Talk to B' podcast with Biola Bayo, Iyabo admitted that she didn't foresee the complications that followed the request. She shared her sorrow over the delays in Mohbad's burial and the ongoing disputes within his family.

“I wouldn’t have asked for Mohbad to be exhumed if I had known things would turn out like this," she said. "He hasn’t even been buried yet. His father wants a DNA test, and I hear the court has granted it, though there are new conditions.”

She continued, “I only wanted the exhumation so they could perform an autopsy to determine the cause of his death. I did my best to ensure a thorough investigation, but when new theories came up, DNA became their priority.”

Mohbad passed away on September 12, 2023, under mysterious circumstances and was buried the following day. However, the Lagos State Police exhumed his body on September 21 for an autopsy.

In October 2023, Mohbad's father, Joseph Aloba, made it clear that the singer would not be reburied until a DNA test was conducted on his son Liam.
