The Lagos State Police Command has declared Ms Feyisayo Ogedengbe, an auxiliary nurse, who injected late Afrobeat singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba a.k.a Mohbad as the prime suspect over his death.
This was disclosed by the state’s Commissioner of Police, Idowu Owohunwa in a press briefing on Friday.
According to Owohunwa, police preliminary findings into the death of Mohbad, show that nurse Ogedengbe was not qualified to prescribe drugs for Mohbad’s treatment.
He said, “auxiliary nurse administered multiple and highly potent injections which triggered an immediate reaction that eventually occasioned the death of Mohbad.”
The commissioner said the injections, consisting of tetanus toxoid, paracetamol, and tetrazine were administered at Mohbad’s residence.
“The Auxiliary Nurse who was contacted and invited by Ayobami Sadiq (a.k.a Spending), a friend to Mohbad, on 11th September, 2023 to treat the singer at the deceased’s residence at Lekki-Lagos,” the Lagos CP said.
“She eventually came on Tuesday, 12th September, 2023, and administered three different injections which are believed to have occasioned the chain of reactions that directly resulted in the death of the singer.
“She is the Principal Suspect in the death of Mohbad.
“She acknowledged that it was the injections that she administered on the deceased that triggered the reactions which eventually led to Mohbad’s death. Other expert opinions and witness statements corroborated her admittance.
“Her actions of administering doses of Tetanus Toxoid, Paracetamol (IV) and Ceftriaxone injection (IV) on Mohbad at his residence on 12th September, 2023 immediately and directly triggered the reactions (including vomiting, goose bumps, convulsion) that eventually resulted in the singer’s death.
“This criminal liability is further heightened granted the evidential fact that as an auxiliary nurse, she is not qualified to administer such medications or function as a qualified nurse. She also did this in a non-clinical environment and in a professionally negligent manner that negated standard medical protocols.”
