•Late singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba popularly known as Mohbad
The Coroner’s Court inquiring into the death of Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has ruled out foul play or homicide in his death.
Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi, who delivered her findings today at the Magistrate court sitting in Ikorodu, Lagos, however, held that the actions of the auxiliary nurse were both “unlawful and professionally negligent.”
The coroner recommended the criminal prosecution of the nurse Feyisayo Ogedengbe, for medical misadventure or negligence for administering an injection to the singer without a doctor’s prescription, reports Channels TV.
Magistrate Shotobi said, ” Pursuant to section 29 of the coroner laws of Lagos State, this court recommends the prosecution of the unlicensed medical personnel, Felicia Ogedengbe, by the office of the Director of Public Prosecution, for unlawful medical practice and gross negligence.”
Other findings of the Coroner were that Mohbad’s petition to the police on assault, intimidation, etc, against Naira Marley and Sam Larry ought to be a subject of proper investigation in the light of revelations during the coroner proceedings.
The coroner also blamed Mohbad’s father for the hasty burial of the deceased without first insisting on an autopsy.
Mohbad’s wife was also blamed for treating the deceased at home rather than rushing him to the Hospital for proper medical treatment at the earliest opportunity.
Social media representations of the incident through influencers and content creators were also said to have misrepresented facts about the ongoing coroner proceedings in a manner prejudicial to the integrity of the court.
The coroner’s findings also made other recommendations on improved service delivery and quality in the healthcare system of the country, as well as the response of law enforcement agencies in ensuring the safety of members of society.
