What Autopsy Report Says About Cause Of Mohbad’s Death, Pathologist

The autopsy conducted on the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad, failed to determine the cause of his death, a forensic scientist and pathologist at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Sunday Osiyemi, has revealed.

In its Wednesday report, Channels TV said Mr Osiyemi told the coroner, Adedayo Shotobi, who is a magistrate, why the cause of Mohbad’s death could not be determined.

The TV station added that Mohbad’s family lawyer, Wahab Shittu, however, informed journalists that the pathologist suggested the possibility that the late singer’s death might have been connected to specific medications.

The lawyer said: “The pathologist said the body ought to have been exhumed within 12 hours after it was buried to avoid decomposition. So the summary he is saying is that the cause of death cannot be ascertained, and when you say the cause of death cannot be ascertained, it means it is suspicious, it is not clear, and there is no particular reason.

“He also went further to say that it may be attributed to reactions to certain drugs administered to him before he died. Again, he then qualified that to say he does not know whether it is those drugs that led to his death.”

The coroner adjourned until 11 June for the cross-examination of the pathologist.
