Autopsy Sheds Light on Possible Cause of Mohbad’s Death

Regrettably, the burial of the deceased on the second day hindered the prompt collection of a blood sample necessary for determining fatal anaphylactic shock. Consequently, the cause of death remained uncertain. Despite the absence of significant post mortem and toxicology findings, the report suggested considering the possibility of a fatal anaphylactic shock (drug reaction).

The challenges encountered during the investigation, particularly the lack of an immediate autopsy or embalming before burial, impeded the timely analysis of blood samples.

Regrettably, the burial of the deceased on the second day hindered the prompt collection of a blood sample, thus preventing the determination of fatal anaphylactic shock as the cause of death. The absence of significant post mortem and toxicology findings leaves room for considering the possibility of a fatal anaphylactic shock (drug reaction), as stated in the report.

The challenges faced during the investigation, particularly the lack of an immediate autopsy or embalming before burial, posed obstacles in obtaining timely blood samples for analysis.

Mohbad, whose real name was Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, passed away under mysterious circumstances on September 12 and was laid to rest the following day. His body was later exhumed on September 21, revealing crucial evidence.

Following concerns raised by Joseph Aloba, Mohbad’s father, regarding his son’s death being linked to an injection administered by an auxiliary nurse, several individuals, including the nurse and associates of Mohbad, were arrested.

In October, the Lagos State Police Commissioner, Idowu Owohunwa, identified the auxiliary nurse, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, as the main suspect in Mohbad’s death. Ogedengbe’s administration of various injections, such as tetanus toxoid, paracetamol, and ceftriaxone, without the necessary qualifications led to a severe reaction that resulted in Mohbad’s premature passing. Owohunwa emphasized Ogedengbe’s lack of qualifications and negligent behavior as contributing factors to the tragic outcome.
