Lagos Police Command has named an Auxiliary Nurse – Ms. Feyisayo Ogedengbe — who treated music act Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly called Mohbad, as the prime suspect in the singer’s death.
The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Police Command, Idowu Owohunwa revealed the identity of the nurse on Friday, while giving an update on the ongoing investigation into the singer’s demise at a press conference at the State’s Command Headquarters, Ikeja, Lagos.
He explained that five suspects have so far been identified, arrested, detained and interrogated on their alleged roles in the sequence of events that led to the death of the singer.
According to Owohunwa: “The Auxiliary Nurse who was contacted and invited by Ayobami Sadiq (a.k.a Spending), a friend to Mohbad, on 11th September, 2023 to treat the singer at the deceased’s residence at Lekki-Lagos.
She eventually came on Tuesday, 12th September, 2023 and administered three different injections which are believed to have triggered the chain of reactions that directly resulted in the death of the singer.
“She is the Principal Suspect in the death of Mohbad.
“She acknowledged that it was the injections that she administered on the deceased that triggered the reactions which eventually led to Mohbad’s death.
Other expert opinions and witnesses statements corroborated her admittance.
“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, and convulsion) that eventually resulted in the singer’s death.
This criminal liability is further heightened by 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,” Owohunwa said.
Recalled that Afropop singer Mohbad had died as a result of complications following a sudden crisis in his health on September 12, 2023.
His sudden death had sparked huge reaction among his fabs and loved ones, who started the #Justice4Mohbad campaign drawing the attention of the Lagos State Command of the Nigerian Police Force to the need begin investigation into source of his death.
Mohbad’s remain, which was hurriedly buried by his father, had to be exhumed as Nigerians demanded for autopsy, as insinuations was rife that his former boss Naira Marley and Sam Larry might be connected with his death.
