The unexpected and tragic passing of Nigerian artist Mohbad has triggered a wave of controversies, with Nollywood actress Mary Njoku speaking out against the idea of subjecting Mohbad's child to a DNA test.
In the wake of Mohbad's untimely death, new details have continued to emerge, including the recent exhumation of his body for autopsy by the police, raising questions about the cause of his demise.
Amidst the quest for answers, speculations have arisen, with some individuals beginning to question the paternity of the child he shared with his wife before his tragic passing.
Mary Njoku entered the discussion to express her viewpoint and strongly criticize those who suggested that "a grieving woman should undergo a DNA test."
In her words:
"Asking a mourning Widow to submit her son for a DNA test is pure Evil. Haba! She just lost a husband! Lost a father to her child! Lost her Helper and Protector of over 10yrs! Let her mourn in peace!
If you can’t support her, don’t add to her misery! Small money don enter now, we are asking for DNA test. Just because she isn’t rich.
If her husband didn’t doubt the paternity of his child, who are we to think otherwise? Abeg make una no let the dead para for una o! Don’t frustrated his family!!!! Let’s focus on getting #justiceformohbad.”
Mary Njoku's strong stance emphasizes the need for empathy and support for a grieving widow, rather than adding to her emotional burden with unwarranted suspicions.
