Mohbad: New autopsy conducted

By Taiwo Okanlawon

The family of late street singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has conducted a new autopsy to determine the cause of his death.

One of the family’s lawyers, Monisola Odumosu, disclosed that the autopsy was conducted on Friday, July 19, and Saturday, July 20.

In a statement, Odumosu said: “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.

“The procedure was observed by Mr Joseph Aloba, the forensic pathologist he appointed, his legal representatives, and a pathologist appointed by Wunmi Aloba.”

In June, a Coroner Court magistrate in Ikorodu, Lagos State, T.A. Shotobi, granted Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, permission to hire a licensed pathologist for an independent autopsy.

Mohbad died on September 12, 2023 at the age of 26 in a controversial manner, and the cause of his death remains unclear.
