Joseph Aloba, the father of the late singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (Mohbad), has expressed concerns about the accuracy of the toxicology and autopsy reports relating to his son’s death.
In May, a pathologist from the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) told the Coroner’s Inquest that the autopsy performed on Mohbad did not provide a clear determination of the cause of death.
The pathologist explained that several factors contributed to the inconclusive autopsy results, including the decomposition of Mohbad’s body and potential interactions with medications he had taken before his death.
Additionally, a toxicology test was conducted at LASUTH, analyzing samples from the gastric content, blood, bone marrow, liver, kidney, and lung.
The findings showed that Mohbad had a visible injury on his right forearm, and his body exhibited moderate to severe decomposition when exhumed. Although the exact cause of death remained inconclusive, the report hinted at a possible drug reaction based on post-mortem and toxicology results.
Joseph Aloba and his family have declined to accept the official reports, citing concerns about potential manipulation or tampering with the results.
While speaking on Arise News Television’s Morning Show, Aloba expressed his suspicions: “I, along with the public, suspect foul play in the toxicology report on Mohbad. There were significant delays in the process. Mohbad did not die a natural death; I saw him two days before he died.”
The Aloba family’s legal team also voiced their dissatisfaction, noting, “We, the legal representatives of the Aloba family, are profoundly disappointed with the toxicology test results of the late Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (Mohbad), which have been deemed inconclusive by the pathologist.
“This outcome is entirely unacceptable to us and the Aloba family and raises serious concerns about the integrity and thoroughness of the investigation by the police and medical team into the untimely death of their beloved son, brother, and friend.
“The Aloba family and the world demand to know where the toxicology test was conducted, as this has called into question the integrity of the findings.”
