Mohbad: Police Await Autopsy Report Amid Investigation Delays

The Lagos State Police Command reports the non-receipt of the autopsy report for the late musician Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad, completed two months ago.

Two months have passed since the exhumation of Mohbad’s body and the subsequent autopsy aimed at establishing the cause of his death.

Following the controversial murder on September 12, the Police initiated an investigation to uncover the circumstances surrounding the musician’s demise

In September, Benjamin Hundeyin, the public relations officer for the state police, tweeted that an “autopsy has been concluded” and the authorities were “awaiting result.”

In October, Mohbad’s murder was linked to a number of main suspects, including then-Commissioner of Police Idowu Owohunwa, who said Mohbad had experienced vomiting and goosebumps following three injections from nurse Feyisayo Ogedemgbe on September 12, 2023.

Following it, charges were brought against a few of the suspects.

However, last Friday, the state Police Command freed singers Azeez Fashola, aka Naira Marley, and Balogun Samson, aka, Sam Larry, after they fulfilled their bail requirements.

Recall that following the release of footage online showing the late singer being assaulted, the duo was taken into custody as part of an inquiry into Mohbad’s death.

In response to a question regarding the release of Mohbad’s autopsy report, Hundeyin said the report had not yet been officially received by the command.

Hundeyin said, “The autopsy report has not been given to us. Some people have been carrying rumours that it’s ready. It’s one thing for it to be ready, it’s another thing for it to be given to us officially – that we would receive and sign a copy that we have received it. So, we don’t work with rumours, we work with facts.”
