The Lagos State Government’s inquest into the death of Afropop sensation Ilerioluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad, has concluded with a call for the prosecution of Feyisayo Ogedengbe, an unlicensed nurse who treated Mohbad in his final moments.
Coroner Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi acknowledged the bullying and harassment Mohbad suffered at the hands of his former promoter, Naira Marley, and Sam Larry, but found no direct link between them and Mohbad’s immediate death.
The court noted that cultural factors influenced Mohbad’s father’s decision to conduct a hasty burial, emphasizing the importance of following proper legal and medical procedures.
The court also found that Mohbad’s wife should have ensured proper medical care after he sustained an injury a few days before his death. The inquest concluded that Mohbad’s death resulted from a combination of factors, including failures by his family, public institutions, and the music industry.
