The results of the autopsy performed on the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, better known by his stage name Mohbad, will be available in three or four weeks.
The musician died on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27 years.
During a coroner’s inquest into the singer’s death on Wednesday, Dr. Richard Somiari, Director of Lagos State DNA and Forensic Center, provided the hint in his statement.
The witness was cross-examined by defence counsel in the inquest.
His death generated controversies across the country and beyond, prompting Lagos State Government to direct a coroner’s inquest into the death.
The inquest, which began on October 13, 2023, is taking place at the Ikorodu Magistrates’ Court.
In his words;
“We expected to get the first set of autopsy results in three to four weeks and re-confirm to authenticate the cause of the death.
“We searched for multiple possibilities, to check if poison was involved in the death of Mohbad since no actual cause was mentioned.”
The forensic expert assured the public of adequate security and monitoring of samples for the autopsy.
The Coroner adjourned the case to 15 April and directed all parties in the inquest to be present on that day.
