Mohbad: Aloba Family Conducts Fresh Autopsy

The family of the late singer Mohbad, born Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, has conducted another toxicology test to determine the cause of the singer’s death.

Mohbad died under mysterious circumstances on September 12, 2023, and his body was buried the next day.

On September 21, his body was exhumed, and an autopsy was performed following public outrage. However, in May, Wahab Shittu, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), stated that the pathologist in charge of the autopsy informed the coroner that Mohbad’s body had decomposed by the time the test was conducted, making it impossible to ascertain the cause of death.

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

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

Odumosu disclosed that the first phase of the autopsy had been carried out last week, while the second phase involves a toxicology and histology test. She stated 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 read.

“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.”
