MOHBAD: Autopsy Results To Be Ready In Three Weeks 

An autopsy on the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, widely known as Mohbad, is expected to be completed within the next three to four weeks.

Dr. Richard Somiari, Director of the Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre, provided this information while giving testimony during a coroner’s inquest regarding the singer’s death.

The witness underwent cross-examination by defense counsel as part of the inquest.

Mohbad, who passed away at the age of 27 on September 12, 2023, sparked a nationwide and international discussion, prompting the Lagos State Government to initiate a coroner’s inquest.

The proceedings, which commenced on October 13, 2023, are being conducted 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 the death of Mohbad since no actual cause was mentioned.”

The forensic specialist has assured the public of the rigorous 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.
