To ascertain the cause of his passing, the family of the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad, has ordered a new autopsy.
Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, was given permission by Coroner Court Magistrate T.A. Shotobi in Ikorodu, Lagos State, on June 26 to engage a certified pathologist for an independent autopsy.
The autopsy and examination costs were all ordered by the court to be paid for by Aloba. One of the family’s attorneys, Monisola Odumosu, claims that the autopsy was done on Friday, July 19, and Saturday, July 20.
“The second autopsy, requested by the Aloba family and ordered by Magistrate T.A. Shotobi, took place on July 19 and 20, 2024. This is a two-part process, and if the initial examination doesn’t reveal the cause of death, toxicology and histology tests will be conducted,” said Odumosu.
The legal team further noted that the autopsy was witnessed by Mohbad’s father and two pathologists appointed by both him and Mohbad’s wife, Wunmi.
“The procedure was observed by Mr. Joseph Aloba, the forensic pathologist he appointed, his legal representatives, and a pathologist appointed by Wunmi Aloba,” the statement added.
Mohbad, who died at the age of 27 on September 12, 2023, left the Marlian Music record label, owned by Naira Marley, in February 2022.
I personally think this Mohbad case is taking longer than expected. My charge to his family is to please stop all this drama and arrange for a befitting burial and let his soul rest in perfect peace.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
