Mohbad

An autopsy report on the late singer ‘MohBad’ real names Ilerioluwa Aloba, has finally been released, and it reveals the possible cause of his death.

According to the report, the autopsy was conducted at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) and samples of Mohbad’s gastric content, blood, bone marrow, liver, kidney, and lung were retrieved for a toxicology test.

The report states that Mohbad had an injury on his right forearm and his body was exhumed with moderate to severe decomposition.

The toxicology report showed a positive finding of Diphenhydramine, an anti-histamine, but the concentration was not in a fatal or lethal range.

The report concludes that there is a possibility of a drug reaction or anaphylactic shock. The report also notes that the body was not embalmed prior to burial and was exhumed eight days after burial, which may have affected the toxicology results.

The report said: “Following the Order for Exhumation, the body was exhumed on 21/09/2023 (8 days after the burial)………..in the light of the foregoing, cause of death could not be ascertained.

“However, the possibility of a fatal anaphylactic shock (drug reaction) could be considered in view of the absence of any significant post mortem and toxicology findings.”

Mohbad’s death was shrouded in mystery, and several suspects were arrested in connection to his death, including an auxiliary nurse who administered an injection to Mohbad before his death.

The singer died on September 12, 2023, and was buried the next day.

The police upon swift investigation revealed that the auxiliary nurse was the prime suspect in Mohbad’s death.

Feyisayo Ogedengbe, admitted to giving Mohbad an injection after Joseph Aloba, Mohbad’s father, revealed he passed away after receiving the Injection.

According to the Lagos state police commissioner, Idowu Owohunwa, the auxiliary nurse “administered multiple and highly potent injections which triggered an immediate reaction that eventually occasioned the death of Mohbad”.

The commissioner said the injections, consisting of tetanus toxoid, paracetamol, and ceftriaxone injection (IV), were administered at Mohbad’s residence.

“She acknowledged that it was the injections that she administered on the deceased that triggered the reactions. Other expert opinions and witness statements corroborated her admittance,” he added.

He continued, “Her actions of administering doses of Tetanus Toxoid, Paracetamol (IV) and Ceftriaxone injection (IV) on Mohbad at his residence on 12th September 2023 immediately and directly triggered the reactions (including vomiting, goose bumps, convulsion) that eventually resulted in the singer’s death.”

“This criminal liability is further heightened granted the evidential fact that as an auxiliary nurse, she is not qualified to administer such medications or function as a qualified nurse. She also did this in a non-clinical environment and in a professionally negligent manner that negated standard medical protocols.”

Naira Marley, Sam Larry, and Primeboy were also arrested in connection to Mohbad’s death.

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested controversial Lagos socialite, Balogun Eletu, aka Sam Larry, over an ongoing investigation into the circumstances leading to the death of the singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad.

The Lagos State Police Command Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the development late Thursday night telephone interview.

“Yes, Balogun Eletu aka Sam Larry is now in our custody. He is currently assisting with the ongoing investigation,” Hundeyin said.

It would be recall that the police had earlier invited Sam Larry and singer, Azeez Fashola aka Naira Marley, for questioning over Mohbad’s demise.

The police, last week, also confirmed that pathologists had concluded the autopsy conducted on Mohbad, while they await the result.

He said, “Autopsy has been concluded. Awaiting results.” This development followed the exhumation of Mohbad by a combined team of the Nigeria Police Force and health officials.

The police had also arrested the nurse who reportedly injected the deceased singer before his demise on Tuesday, September 12.
