The Lagos State Command of the Nigeria Police Force has named prime suspects who are believed to have played different roles in the death of late Afropop star, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as MohBad.

The State Police Commissioner, Idowu Owohunwa, who disclosed this during a press conference on Friday, said in the ongoing investigation into the singer’s demise, the police had identified and quizzed 26 people, while five suspects had so far been identified, arrested, detained and interrogated on their alleged roles in the sequence of events that led to the singer’s death.

According to the Police Commissioner, the prime suspects include an auxiliary nurse, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, who allegedly administered an injection on the late Mohbad, as well as his close friend, Ibrahim Oluwatosin Owoduni, aka Prime Boy.

The police also mentioned one Ayobami Sodiq, aka Spending, as being complicit in the homicide case for allegedly inviting Ogedengbe, an unqualified and unregistered nurse, to treat Mohbad.

The police also added that there was evidence linking popular musician, Azeez Fashola, alias Naira Marley, and Sam Larry with cyberbullying, physical abuse, a threat to life, and assault against the late Mohbad.

‘’The chain of events that directly and specifically led to the death of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (Mohbad) occurred between 10th – 13th September, 2023 and the locations of incidents stretched over Ikorodu and Lekki in Lagos State,” Owohunwa said during the press briefing.

“Miss Feyisayo Ogedengbe is the auxiliary nurse who was contacted and invited by Ayobami Sadiq, aka Spending, a friend of Mohbad, on September 11, 2023, to treat the singer at the deceased’s residence at Lekki-Lagos.

“She eventually came on Tuesday, September 12, 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 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 September 12, 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”, he said.

Speaking further, the Police Commissioner said:

‘’Ibrahim Oluwatosin Owoduni (Prime Boy) is also considered as complicit in the chain of events that led to the eventual death of Mohbad as the injury that culminated in actions which led to his death was sustained in the course of physical combat between him and Mohbad

‘’Ayobami Sodiq (Spending), is also considered complicit in the homicide case for inviting Feyisayo Ogedengbe whom he knew to be an unqualified and unregistered nurse to administer the potent medications that eventually triggered reactions leading to Mohbad’s death.

“While Naira Marley and Sam Larry denied allegations of criminal liability in the death of Mohbad and pleaded an alibi to justify their not being complicit in the incident that occurred between September 10 and 12, 2023, there are ample electronic and credible witness pieces of evidence linking them to cyberbullying, a threat to life, assault occasioning harm, and conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace against the deceased in his lifetime.”

The CP also noted that files concerning the investigation had been sent to the Directorate of Public Prosecutions for legal advice.
