Mohbad’s family conducts independent autopsy to uncover cause of death
In a quest to uncover the truth behind Mohbad’s untimely demise, his family has commissioned an independent autopsy to determine the cause of his death.
The family of late musician Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, initiated this new autopsy after a previous one failed to reveal the circumstances surrounding his passing.
On June 26, 2024, Magistrate T.A. Shotobi of the Coroner Court in Ikorodu, Lagos State, granted an order allowing Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, to arrange for an independent autopsy by a licensed pathologist. The court also mandated that Aloba cover all expenses related to the examination.
According to a statement released by Monisola Odumosu, a member of the family’s legal team, the second autopsy took place on July 19 and 20. “The second autopsy as requested by the Aloba family and ordered by the Magistrate of the Coroner Court, Ms. T.A. Shotobi, was conducted on Friday, July 19, and Saturday, July 20, 2024. This autopsy is a two-part exercise, with the first part now completed.”
Odumosu added that if the initial autopsy does not reveal the cause of Mohbad’s death, the family will conduct further tests. “If the cause of death cannot be determined from this initial examination, the second part will proceed, involving a toxicology and histology test on the necessary samples already obtained.”
The legal team revealed that Mohbad’s father, along with two independent pathologists chosen by him and Mohbad’s wife, Wunmi, witnessed the procedure. “This comprehensive procedure, conducted last Friday, was witnessed only by Mr. Joseph Aloba, the forensic pathologist appointed by Mr. Joseph Aloba and his team, legal representatives of both Mr. Joseph Aloba and a pathologist appointed by Wunmi Aloba to observe the procedure.”
At the age of 27, Mohbad passed suddenly on September 12, 2023, which sparked contentious discussions over his death on social media. On September 21, 2023, his body was dug out for a preliminary autopsy.
On May 15, however, a pathologist testified at the Coroner’s Court that the stage of decomposition made it impossible to determine the cause of death.
The family hopes that this independent autopsy will finally shed light on the true cause of Mohbad’s death, providing them with the answers they have been seeking.
