MOHBAD’S FAMILY CONDUCTS NEW AUTOPSY, AWAIT RESULTS
The family of the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba aka Mohbad, has conducted a fresh autopsy seeking to determine the cause of his death.
It stated that on June 26, Mr. Joseph Aloba, the deceased’s father, received an order from T.A. Shotobi, the coroner court magistrate in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State, requiring him to hire a certified and licensed pathologist to do an entirely independent autopsy on the late singer.
The applicant, Aloba, was also ordered by the court to pay for all expenses related to the examination, evaluation, and autopsy.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Monisola Odumosu, a member of the family’s legal team, stated that the autopsy was carried out on Friday, July 19, and Saturday, July 20.
Odumosu noted that the family would proceed to carry out toxicology and histology tests on the necessary samples already obtained if the post-mortem procedure failed to reveal the cause of death.
“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.
“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 statement read in part.
The legal team also revealed that Mohbad’s father, two different pathologists he appointed, and Mohbad’s wife, Wunmi, all observed 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,” the statement added.
