Mohbad’s autopsy results to be ready 4 weeks
Mohbad’s autopsy results to be ready 4 weeks
Dr Richard Somiari, Director of Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre, on Wednesday said that results of an autopsy conducted on deceased singer Ilerioluwa Aloba (a.k.a Mohbad) would be ready in the next three weeks or four weeks.
Somiari gave the assurance while testifying during a corner’s inquest into the death of the singer.
The witness was cross-examined on Wednesday by defence counsel in the inquest.
The reports gathered that the musician died on Sept. 12, 2023, and was buried the following day.
He was aged 27 years.
His death generated controversies, prompting Lagos State Government to direct a coroner’s inquest into the death.
The inquest, which began on Oct. 13, 2023, is taking place at the Ikorodu Magistrates’ Court.
Somiari told the Coroner, Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi: “We expected to get the first set of autopsy results in three to four weeks and re-confirm to authenticate the cause of the death.
“We searched for multiple possibilities, to check if poison was involved in death of Mohbad since no actual cause was mentioned.”
The forensic expert assured the public of adequate security and monitoring of samples for the autopsy.
“We have a place where items are stored for safety and security of results. There is a procedure for monitoring samples moved abroad,” he said.
Also testifying, Mr Sadiq Ayobami, popularly called Spendy, said that he saw the deceased last a day before his death.
He said that both of them attended a concert at Ikorodu and returned to his house after which he left before the singer’s death.
Mrs Abiodun Kolawole, an activist representing the African Women Lawyers Association, urged the parents of the deceased to channel their grieviances to the court of law in respect of the paternity of the singer’s child, instead of going through the social media.
The Coroner, Magistrate T. A. Shotobi, adjourned the case until April 15.
Shotobi directed all parties in the inquest to be present on that day.

“For the Ministry of Art, Culture and the Creative Economy, the inclusion of the Nigerian pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2024 holds immense significance.
“It is an opportunity to leverage the platform to strengthen Nigeria’s cultural ties with other nations, fostering mutual respect, appreciation and collaboration in arts.
“One of the highlights of the Venice Biennale is the national pavilions, which represent different countries and showcase their artists’ works.
“Each country’s pavilion offers a unique perspective on contemporary art, reflecting the cultural diversity and artistic practices of its nation.
“Nigeria’s pavilion serves as a catalyst for conversations around Nigerian arts and culture, promoting dialogue and understanding between different cultures and societies.
“Our collective aim is to position Nigeria as the world’s culture, creativity and entertainment capital,” she said.
Musawa, who said that the theme for the exhibition is ‘Foreigners Everywhere’, added that pavilion exhibitions would be at the historic Palazzo Salviati in Dorsoduro, near the Gallerie dell’Accademia and would feature eight Nigerian artists.
She said the artists include: Tunji Adeniyi-Jones, Ndidi Dike, Onyeka Igwe, Toyin Ojih Odutola, Abraham Oghobase, Yinka Shonibare, Fatimah Tuggar, and Precious Okoyomon.
She said that Okoyomon’s contribution to the main exhibition at the 2022 edition made her a breakout star.
“Nigeria’s Pavilion will serve as a springboard for future collaborations, exchanges, and partnerships within the global art community.
“The Federal Ministry of Art, Culture and the Creative Economy is partnering MOWAA to empower cultural professionals to thrive in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
“Africa will be represented by ten countries including Nigeria, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Namibia, South Africa, Uganda and Zimbabwe.
