The Coroner’s Court investigating the death of Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has ruled out foul play or h%micide in the case. Delivering her findings on Friday at the Ikorodu Magistrate Court in Lagos, Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi concluded that the singer’s de@th was not the result of any criminal act.
However, the coroner found that the actions of the auxiliary nurse, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, who administered an injection to Mohbad without a doctor’s prescription, were both unlawful and professionally negligent. The court recommended that the nurse be prosecuted for gross negligence and illegal medical practice.
Citing Section 29 of the Lagos State Coroner Law, Magistrate Shotobi urged the Directorate of Public Prosecutions to take up the case against the unlicensed nurse.
The coroner also called for further investigation into a prior petition by Mohbad against Naira Marley and Sam Larry, alleging a+sault and int+midation—issues that resurfaced during the inquest.
In addition, the court criticized Mohbad’s father for b¥rying him hastily without insisting on an autopsy, and faulted the singer’s wife for not taking him to the hospital promptly when he fell ill.
The court further noted that social media influencers and content creators had distorted facts about the case during the proceedings, in ways that could compromise the integrity of the judicial process.
Lastly, the coroner recommended broader reforms, including improvements in healthcare service delivery and stronger responses from law enforcement to protect citizens.
