Mohbad’s Death: Lagos Coroner Urges Prosecution of Auxiliary Nurse for Medical Negligence

In a pivotal ruling delivered at the Lagos State Coroner’s Court in Ikorodu, the magistrate overseeing the inquest into the death of Nigerian music star Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has advised that legal proceedings be initiated against auxiliary nurse Feyisayo Ogedengbe. This recommendation is based on the court’s determination that the nurse’s conduct amounted to gross medical negligence, significantly contributing to the tragic passing of the singer. Presiding Magistrate C.A. Shotobi concluded on Friday that Ogedengbe had administered an injection to Mohbad without a valid medical prescription or authorization from a certified physician. The nurse’s actions, according to the magistrate, demonstrated a reckless disregard for professional standards and legal procedures governing medical care. Although the coroner’s inquest ruled out any form of homicide or direct foul play, the court clearly categorized Ogedengbe’s involvement as both unlawful and indicative of severe professional misconduct. “This court, in accordance with Section 29 of the Lagos State Coroner Law, recommends that the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) commence appropriate legal proceedings against Feyisayo Ogedengbe for practicing medicine without certification and for engaging in acts of gross negligence,” Magistrate Shotobi stated firmly. It should be recalled that the auxiliary nurse was apprehended by law enforcement authorities following Mohbad’s controversial demise on September 11, 2023—an incident that sparked intense nationwide discourse and public demand for transparency and justice. During her appearance before the coroner’s court in March 2025, Ogedengbe confessed to administering a tetanus injection to the late singer. She further revealed that shortly after receiving the shot, Mohbad began to vomit and exhibited severe allergic reactions, which ultimately led to his death. This case has attracted widespread media coverage and continues to resonate deeply with fans, rights advocates, and the general public. The coroner’s recommendation for prosecution now places the focus on the Director of Public Prosecution, whose next move could set a significant precedent regarding accountability within Nigeria’s healthcare sector—especially concerning unauthorized medical practices.

Joseph Aloba Reveals He Spent N16 Million for Independent Second Autopsy on Late Singer Mohbad

Joseph Aloba, the father of the late Nigerian artist Mohbad, has revealed that he personally funded the second autopsy on his son’s body, stating that the procedure cost him N16 million. Aloba disclosed this information during a recent live session on TikTok, where he recounted the financial toll of pursuing independent forensic analysis to ascertain the cause of Mohbad’s mysterious death. “To be completely honest, I initially paid N16 million to the pathologist for the autopsy,” Aloba explained. “After that payment, I also incurred expenses amounting to nearly N2 million. So if the pathologist refutes this publicly, you should never believe anything I say again.” He addressed circulating reports that claimed the amount paid was N12 million, asserting, “Regardless of what anyone is saying, I am confirming once again—it was N16 million that I paid.” According to earlier reports by LMSINT MEDIA, this new statement from Joseph Aloba emerged just weeks after Dr. Uwom Eze, a forensic pathologist who independently examined Mohbad’s remains, declared that the autopsy could not conclusively determine the singer’s cause of death. Back in June 2024, Magistrate T.A. Shotobi of the Coroner Court in Ikorodu, Lagos State, authorized the late singer’s father to engage the services of a certified pathologist for an independent forensic autopsy.
