Family of Mohbad conducts fresh autopsy

  



The family of Mohbad has conducted another toxicology test
to determine the cause of the singer’s death.



 



Born Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, Mohbad died under
mysterious circumstances on September 12 and was buried the next day.



 



On September 21, his body was exhumed while an autopsy was
carried out that same day.



 



In May, Wahab Shittu, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN),
said the pathologist in charge of the autopsy told the coroner that Mohbad’s
body had decomposed by the time the test was conducted.



 





The pathologist also said the cause of the singer’s death
could not be ascertained.



 



On June 7, TheCable Lifestyle obtained Mohbad’s autopsy
result from the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH).



 



The result showed that “no significant gross finding” could
be attributed to the singer’s death.



 



The toxicology “revealed the positive finding of
Diphenhydramine, an anti-histamine; however, this concentration was not in a
fatal or lethal range”.



 



Last month, the Aloba family rejected the autopsy result
while also demanding an independent post-mortem and toxicology test.



 



In a statement on Tuesday, Monisola Odumosu, a member of
Aloba’s legal team, said a two-part autopsy is being conducted on Mohbad.



 



She disclosed that the first phase had been carried out last
week while the second part involved “a toxicology and histology test”.



 



The lawyer added that the procedure was witnessed by Joseph
Aloba, Mohbad’s father, and a pathologist representing Wunmi, the late singer’s
wife.



 



“The second autopsy as requested by the Aloba family and
ordered by the Magistrate of the Coroner Court, Ms. T.A. Shotobi, was conducted
on Friday, July 19, and Saturday, July 20, 2024. This autopsy is a two-part
exercise, with the first part now completed,” the statement reads in part.



 



“If the cause of death cannot be determined from this
initial examination, the second part will proceed, involving a toxicology and
histology test on the necessary samples already obtained.



 



“This comprehensive procedure, conducted last Friday, was
witnessed only by Mr. Joseph Aloba, the forensic pathologist appointed by Mr.
Joseph Aloba and his team, legal representatives of both Mr. Joseph Aloba
and  a pathologist appointed by Wunmi
Aloba to observe the procedure.”
