Autopsy Reveals Mohbad Died Due To Injection Complications …Why The Nurse and Marlians Who Assaulted Him Must Face Prosecution

While there have been numerous reports surrounding the circumstances of the passing of the renowned Afrobeat artiste, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, the results of the autopsy conducted on his remains indicate that he died as a result of complications arising from an injection administered by a nurse.

Reliable sources confirmed that Mohbad was rushed to a hospital after being assaulted during a performance by individuals purportedly associated with Naira Marley, another musician, and the owner of Mohbad’s former record label.

Mohbad was said to have sustained injuries following the beating, leading him to seek the services of a nurse at home.

It was learnt that Mohbad started convulsing after being given injections, one of which was said to be an anti-tetanus shot.

A tetanus shot is a toxoid vaccine that prevents tetanus, a life-threatening bacterial infection.

“Investigators have established that he was beaten by the same people that have always harangued him after his show in Ikorodu and he sustained some injuries.

“When he returned home, he complained of body pains and a nurse was brought to treat him.

“One of the injections administered to him was an anti-tetanus injection,” said a source.

He was said to have started convulsing and died at home after the treatment. He was confirmed dead at the hospital.

Sources said that Mohbad died inside
a car as he was being rushed to the hospital and that there were plans to bury him in the night of the same day before the family was prevailed upon by a neighbour to postpone the burial till the next day.

The autopsy report obtained exclusively by this medium however, alleged that the nurse also administered Procaine penicillin injection to the late artist, leading to severe complications.

Sadly, all attempts to procure a neutralizing agent to revive him proved unsuccessful, ultimately resulting in his demise.

“It is evident that Mohbad’s untimely death can be attributed to the injection, especially after he was admitted to the hospital following the severe beating by Naira Marley’s associates known as Marlians, due to a dispute with their leader.

“Undoubtedly, the nurse who treated him bears responsibility, and her arrest for trial is a welcome development.

“Equally, it is imperative to apprehend and prosecute those involved in the assault,” emphasized a reliable source.

Last week, the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives, Lagos State Council, clarified that the individual reportedly arrested for administering the injection to Mohbad was not a registered nurse. This clarification came through a press statement signed by the State Secretary, Toba Odumosu.

The association also called on the media to verify the qualifications and professional status of individuals before labeling them as healthcare professionals.

Mohbad, aged 27, passed away on September 12, 2023.

On September 14, Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, expressed doubts about the circumstances of his son’s death, particularly concerning the injection administered by an auxiliary nurse.

Aloba said, “According to what I heard from people, I do not believe in that. The only thing I can think of is maybe this auxiliary nurse that used to treat people which is a very bad idea. I do not know the kind of level the woman is.

“They said they called her to give him an injection and that is a very bad idea and that injection can result in any length. He had wounds but I do not know the kind of wounds he had.”

Meanwhile, the Lagos State Police Command confirmed on Friday that the singer’s remains had been deposited in the mortuary following the completion of the autopsy.

Lagos Police Command had inaugurated a 13-man special investigation panel to unravel what caused the death of the singer.

The state police commissioner, Idowu Owohunwa also said the command would engage INTERPOL in its investigation, saying, “Do not forget, we have unique access with INTERPOL. Everybody linked to it (the death of Mohbad) will be identified and they will be brought to establish their level of involvement.”

On October 6, 2022, Mohbad made a series of posts which read, “The events of the last two days have left indelible scars in my heart. I have always just wanted to create good music and to provide for my family and myself through my music. As an Artiste from the street, I thought the Marlian Family would be a good place for me.

“However, recent events and certain truths have come to light which threaten my peace, health and career. Because of these issues, I informed Naira Marley on the Marlian WhatsApp group chat of my intention to change my manager.

“This didn’t go down well with my current Manager Tunde (His Brother) There were instant angry outbursts and protests from him in the chat. I went to Naira Marley’s house with my Producer and my friend on the 4th of October, 2022, to have this conversation and reach a peaceful-resolution.

“We were in the studio, and some of the guys who work with Naira- Sid, Shuddy, Seyi and others- were present, as well as Naira and Tunde. I noticed Tunde was quite agitated as we started the discussion. In the middle of the conversation, Tunde became violent and-attacked me.

“The guys I was with were also attacked, humiliated and stripped naked by Sid, Shuddy and Seyi and some of the other boys. We were barely able to escape. 3 of us had to be checked into the hospital to get medical care for the injuries sustained during the assault.

“Naira Marley was fully present throughout this event, and in fact, coordinated some of the attacks as he instructed the boys to beat us up. Some of this was captured on video.

“It is therefore disrespectful for Naira Marley to insinuate that I started the attack because I was intoxicated as he is fully aware of the facts and circumstances surrounding this violent attack. It is not the first time Naira has lied to push his own narrative, but it will hopefully be the last.”
