Mohbad: Police Name Prime Suspect

The Lagos Police Command has revealed what led to the death of popular singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba aka Mohbad. The Command has also revealed that the Auxiliary Nurse, who treated the Singer is a prime suspect in the Singer’s death.

The Lagos State Police Commissioner, Idowu Owohunwa, gave the update concerning the ongoing investigation into the Singer’s demise in a press briefing on Friday afternoon.

The Police said that from the result of the autopsy and investigation carried out, the Singer died as a result of injuries that he sustained during a fight with his friend, Primeboy. It was noted that Mohbad didn’t treat the injury, despite several pleas by his wife and other friends.

The Police further stated that when Mohbad finally got treatment, it was from an Auxiliary Nurse who was described as a quack. His body reacted negatively to the treatment, and it led to the deceased convulsing before he was confirmed dead.

The Nurse is mentioned as the prime suspect in the death of Mohbad, because she went beyond her limitation to administer drugs and injections that led to the eventual death of the Singer.

Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, had previously said his son passed away after receiving an injection administered by the Auxiliary Nurse.

CP Owohunwa said the “Auxiliary Nurse administered multiple and highly potent injections, which triggered an immediate reaction that eventually occasioned the death of Mohbad”.

According to the CP, the injections, consisting of Tetanus Toxoid, Paracetamol, and Ceftriaxone, were administered at Mohbad’s residence.

“At about 14:35hrs of 12th September, 2023, Miss Feyisayo, the Nurse, eventually arrived. Armed with one pack of Ceftriaxone injection, one Paracetamol injection…. , several needles, and syringes”,  he said.

“Miss Feyisayo administered the drugs….

“Mohbad started vomiting, while goosebumps appeared on his face, Mohbad was reacting to the administered medications.

“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”, the CP added. 

On whether Naira Marley and Sam Larry were involved, the Police explained that both of them were not in the country at the time of the event that led to Mohbad’s death, as the location stretched between Ikorodu and Lekki.

It will be recalled that the Lagos State Police Command, on Wednesday, placed a bounty of N1 million and declared Owodunni Ibrahim aka Primeboy wanted, following his failure to honour the Police invitation sent to him since the commencement of the investigation into the circumstances leading to the death of Singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
