Pathologists Cite Injection Reaction As Cause Of Mohbad Death.

The inquest set up by the Lagos State Government to unravel the controversial death of musician, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly called Mohbad, ended on Friday, with a call for the prosecution of the unlicensed nurse, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, who treated the 26 year old at home in his final moments.
‎
‎The court relied on the testimonies of the two pathologists that conducted independent autopsies on the deceased. The medical forensic experts cited severe reaction to an injection as possible cause of death, as the decomposing state of the corpse prevented a definite conclusion. The court also agreed that it was a medical misadventure on the part of the auxiliary nurse who administered the injections on the deceased, without considering the attendant risks.
‎
‎The court also acknowledged the cultural factors that prompted the decision of the deceased’s father, Joseph Aloba, in conducting the “hasty” and “undignified” burial on the night of his death. But it added that he should still have done the necessary legal and medical procedures including getting a death certificate and having an autopsy done upon the sudden death of the rising star.
‎
‎The court also found that the musician’s wife should have insisted on his proper medical care upon sustaining an injury few days to his death, as well as spoken out or properly documenting for needed action the father’s poor handling of the corpse.
‎
‎It was also concluded that Mohbad suffered turbulent moments leading to his death, having being failed by various quarters including his family, public institutions and the music industry that should have given him the needed support.
‎
‎The coroner called for an urgent and befitting burial of the musician and recommended that the nurse be prosecuted for gross medical negligence. She also called for a probe into the failure of the Nigerian police to act timely upon a petition of the deceased where he accused Naira marley and others of being after his life.
