 Mohbad's DNA case adjourned to November 16 as family raises concerns over testing process The court hearing on the DNA case involving late singer Mohbad has been adjourned to November 16, 2026, as a family seeking to join the suit raises concerns about the testing process. In an update on the case, a representative of the party seeking to join the proceedings said a new court-appointed officer had been assigned to address their concerns about the proposed DNA test. The representative expressed reservations about the centre expected to handle the process, particularly the role of its director, who he said had also been involved in an earlier DNA-related request. He questioned whether the centre would conduct the test or merely collect samples before sending them to another laboratory. He said they wanted clarity on where the samples would be taken, how they would be collected and handled, and how long it would take to transfer them to the testing facility.

 Pay Workers Living Wages, Prof. Onyire Begs Government 


By Chiedu Uche Okoye 


Prof. Nnamdi Benson Onyire of the Faculty of Clinical Medicine, Alex Ekwueme Federal University/Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki, has  begged the Nigerian political leaders, who lead people at different governmental strata, to start paying workers living wages, which can take care of their sundry needs.


He made the call on the occasion of the workers commemoration of the workers' day, which took place on May 1, 2026 in the states of the federation.


He, also, suggested that government should subsidize the workers' healthcare treatment, transport fare, their children's education, and others. 


"Governments should ensure that the governments-workers' relationship is beneficial to workers by ensuring that workers are paid living wages, as and when due.


"They should, also, provide free or subsidized housing, healthcare treatment, and transport fares for workers. And our children's education should be free or subsidized," Onyire said.


More so,  Onyire advised the workers to be good citizens of Nigeria, who abide by the civil service rules in order to avoid being punished.


Again, a primary school teacher at Obosi Central School, Mrs. Bernard Ukamaka, begged the Anambra State Government to increase their salaries as they spend a great deal of money to commute to and fro schools on work days. 


And, Mr. Jeff. Agbodo, a journalist, who works for Vanguard newspaper, said that it is necessary for the states to implement a harmonized and correct minimum wage template.


He made the comment against the background of our country's worsening economic situation, which has plunged millions of Nigerians below the breadline.


Further more, companies and individuals, who have employees, should, also, pay them living wages in order for them to live decent lives. 


And political leaders who lead people at different governmental levels should not treat civil and public servants in a cavalier manner since it is civil servants that formulate government policies, and implement them.
