The Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP) has confirmed its decision to prosecute the nurse identified as the prime suspect in the death of popular musician Ilerioluwa Aloba, widely known as Mohbad.
According to the DPP, the nurse, Ogedengbe, will face charges related to reckless and negligent acts at the magistrate court. These charges fall under Section 251 (e) of the Criminal Law, Ch. C.17, Vol.3, Laws of Lagos State, 2015.
Before his passing in 2023, Mohbad, who was 27 years old at the time, was involved in what was described as a “violent fight” with his childhood friend, Owodunni Ibrahim, also known as Primeboy.
Following the altercation, Mohbad sustained injuries, prompting Ogedengbe to administer medical treatment. Reports indicate that she injected the late singer with three different drugs.
However, instead of recovering, Mohbad began “convulsing and vomiting.” He was subsequently taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
In the aftermath of his passing, Lagos Commissioner of Police, Idowu Owohunwa, identified Ogedengbe as the prime suspect, further disclosing that she was an unlicensed nurse.
Public speculation had also linked Abdulazeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, and music promoter Samson Balogun, also called Sam Larry, to the singer’s death.
However, both men, alongside Mohbad’s former manager, Opere Babatunde, were acquitted by a Lagos Magistrate Court on Tuesday.
During the ruling, the magistrate stated that “Naira Marley had no case to answer.”
