A Coroner’s Court in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State has ordered substituted service on key witnesses in the ongoing inquest into the death of singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad
These include Azeez Fashola aka Naira Marley; Samson Eletu aka Sam Larry; Mohbad’s sister-in-law, Karimot Ogunbayo; Boluwatife Adeyemo aka Darosha and Mohbad’s lawyer, Oluwasanmi Falade.
The nurse who was said to have treated the deceased during the period, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, and the driver who drove him to the hospital, Fidelis Esanbor, were also on the list.
Magistrate T. A. Sotobi granted the application by Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, to serve a witness summons on additional witnesses through a reputable national newspaper and social media.
The Aloba family’s legal team in a statement signed by Monisola Odumosu and sent to PUNCH Metro on Thursday said the order was granted during the court’s sitting on August 16.
The legal team said it also sought an order of the coroner’s court to issue Witness Summons on interested persons as witnesses to give evidence on the connection and circumstances leading to the death of Mohbad.
“Magistrate Sotobi, sitting at the Ikorodu Magistrate court Friday 16 August 2024 agreed with the legal team of Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, that the new witnesses should be served via substituted means in a reputable national newspaper and social media to ensure prompt attendance of the new witnesses.
“The application, which was argued by the legal team led by Mr Wahab Shittu SAN (leading Emmanuel Oroko Esq., Miss. Monisola Odumosu, Emmanuel Sadoh, Dr. A.R. Ahmed, Oluyemi Osalusi Esq., Wole Ariyibi and Sadiq Kamo) representing Mr Joseph Aloba, sought an order of the coroner’s court to issue Witness Summons on interested persons as witnesses to give evidence on the connection and circumstances leading to the death of late Ilerioluwa Promise Aloba (Mohbad), who died in suspicious circumstances on September 12, 2023. Mr. Joseph Aloba also asked for an order to issue Witness Summons against Nurse Feyisayo Ogedengbe, Boluwatife Adeyemo (A.K.A Darosha), Karimot Titilayo Ogunbayo, Barr. Oluwasanmi Falade (Mohbad’s lawyer), and Fidelis Esanbor (driver), Azeez Fashola (aka Naira Marley), Balogun Samson Eletu respectively, to give evidence of what they know in connection and circumstances leading to the death of Mr Ilerioluwa Promise Aloba (Mohbad), in suspicious circumstances on the 12th day of September 2023 on a date convenient and to be determined by the coroner,” the statement read.
They further asked the court that upon the grant of the orders, to grant leave to serve the witness summons to be issued on the new witnesses by substituted service by causing the said witness summons to be published in any reputable national newspaper within the country as the only viable means of service of the witness summons.
The legal team stated that efforts to get these witnesses served witness summons through the court have been unsuccessful.
Meanwhile, the coroner’s court also granted the application to recall Mohbad’s wife, Wunmi, and the IPO in charge of the case, ASP Muhammad Yusuf.
A lawyer, Akinpelu Ogunbona, who argued the application on behalf of Ibrahim Owodunni aka Primeboy, stated that there were new issues both Wunmi and the police needed to shed light upon to give a clear picture of what killed the singer.
According to the statement, their request to be called by Akinpelu A. Ogunbona Esq. is to make clear some ambiguous statements regarding the fight the singer’s wife alleged happened in the house.
The coroner accordingly adjourned for the order to be complied with and the witnesses to be brought to court on the next adjourned date.
Mohbad died at the age of 27, on September 12, 2023, with circumstances surrounding his death sparking controversies on social media.
Being a former record label signee of Marlian Music owned by Naira Marley, Mohbad left the label in February 2022. The Lagos State Police Command had on September 18, 2023, inaugurated a 13-man special investigation team to probe the singer’s death.
His death also led to the arrest of Naira Marley and controversial Lagos socialite, Balogun Eletu, also known as Sam Larry, amongst others.
The singer’s body was on September 21, 2023, exhumed for autopsy to unravel the cause of his death.

Regina Daniels’ Child Custody Dispute: Lawyer outlines court conditions for actress’s access to children
By Francesca Hangeior
Celebrity lawyer Rita Amy Aduba has weighed in on the reported child custody dispute involving actress Regina Daniels and her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, explaining the conditions the actress must reportedly meet before gaining access to their two sons.
Speaking in a video, Aduba said she reviewed a 15-page High Court judgment, which she claimed granted Regina supervised access to the children rather than denying her visitation rights.
According to the lawyer, the court ordered that Regina’s visits be supervised by the Abuja Social Welfare Office, stressing that neither parent should be excluded from the children’s lives.
Aduba listed the reported conditions contained in the judgment as follows:
Regina’s access to the children must be supervised by the Abuja Social Welfare Office.
The visits must ensure the children are protected from harm.
She is reportedly prohibited from bringing the children into contact with four named individuals: Samuel Ojeugu, Destiny Ojeofo, Ngozi Aniote Izuegu and Ijeoma Josephine Otabofina, popularly known as Phyna.
Temporary custody of the children remains with Senator Ned Nwoko pending the determination of the case.
Regina is required to undergo confirmatory drug tests at designated laboratories to establish that she is free from substance abuse.
She must also demonstrate that she is mentally fit during visits with the children.
Aduba maintained that the court’s decision was aimed at protecting the welfare of the children while preserving the parental rights of both parties.

South Africa Begins Deportation Proceedings Against Miss Universe Nigeria Chidimma Adetshina
Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina, is facing possible deportation from South Africa after the country’s Department of Home Affairs alleged that she is living in the country without legal status.
The 25-year-old appeared before the Cape Town Regional Court on June 9 after being arrested in the Summer Greens area. She was released on warning and is expected to return to court on July 16 as immigration authorities continue legal proceedings seeking her deportation.
According to court documents, immigration officer Adrian Jackson said officials found Adetshina and her minor son during an investigation and determined that neither currently holds valid legal status to remain in South Africa.
Jackson said officials interviewed Adetshina and searched the department’s records before concluding that she has no lawful residential status. He asked the court to confirm her detention for deportation.
The case follows an earlier decision by Home Affairs Minister Dr. Leon Schreiber, who in March dismissed Adetshina’s application to review the refusal of her request for a letter of good cause.
According to the minister, Adetshina was informed in September 2024 of plans to cancel her and her son’s South African identity documents but failed to respond.
Schreiber further alleged that she obtained a Nigerian passport before applying for a South African visitor’s visa, which was rejected after officials claimed she submitted a fraudulent bank statement. He said she did not appeal the decision and was later declared a prohibited person under South African immigration laws.
The minister also alleged that Adetshina later entered South Africa through the Lebombo border from Mozambique while presenting herself as a South African citizen. He added that her son’s immigration status depends on hers.
As part of her release conditions, Adetshina must remain at the address where she was arrested and notify immigration authorities of any changes to her residence, employment or movements while the case is pending.
