The family of the late singer, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba popularly known as Mohbad has conducted a second autopsy to unravel the cause of his death.
The autopsy, ordered by Ms T.A. Shotobi, Magistrate of the Coroner Court, is part of an ongoing investigation into the cause of the artist’s death.
A statement signed on behalf of the family by a member of the legal team, Monisola Odumosu, said the autopsy was conducted on Friday, July 19 and Saturday, July 20.
Odumosu stated that the family would proceed to carry out toxicology and histology tests on the necessary samples already obtained if the post-mortem procedure failed to reveal the cause of death.
This latest development follows a court order from June 26, 2024, allowing Joseph Aloba, Mohbad’s father, to commission an independent autopsy by a licensed and certified pathologist. The court mandated that Mr. Aloba bear all costs associated with the examination, evaluation, and autopsy.
The comprehensive procedure conducted last Friday was witnessed by a limited group, including Mr. Joseph Aloba, the appointed forensic pathologist and his team, and Aloba’s legal representatives.
Wunmi Aloba, the deceased’s wife, was represented by her legal team and her appointed pathologist who observed the procedure.
The Coroner Court has emphasized its commitment to a thorough and transparent investigation to determine the cause of Mohbad’s death, aiming to provide closure for the family and maintain the integrity of the judicial process.
Further updates are expected following the completion of the second part of the autopsy, if deemed necessary.
Late Mohbad d!ed on September 12, 2023 in controversial circumstances.
The pathologist earlier employed to investigate the cause of death of late singer on May 15 told the Coroner Inquest that the cause could not be ascertained as the body had decompose before the test was carried out.
