Mohbad’s Inquest: Pathologist reveals major findings following 2nd autopsy
The Coroner, Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi, presiding over the inquest into the death of late singer Mohbad, has announced that the date for delivering the final decision will be communicated to all parties involved.
This development came on Friday during a session at the Magistrates’ Court in Ikorodu, Lagos, where the last witness, forensic pathologist Dr. Uwom Eze, testified. Dr. Eze conducted the second autopsy and a medical review on Mohbad’s remains after public pressure led to an independent examination.
Under cross-examination by Abiodun Kolawole, representing the African Women Lawyers Association, Dr. Eze disclosed that Mohbad was not found to be abusing hard drugs, contrary to widespread allegations. He revealed that the singer had been administered “regulated” doses of antihistamines and painkillers — medications typically used to treat allergies and manage pain — indicating Mohbad was experiencing significant discomfort before his death.
However, Dr. Eze noted a critical gap: he could not ascertain how the injection that reportedly preceded Mohbad’s death was administered due to a lack of available information. He explained that during the autopsy, he examined an injury on the back of Mohbad’s right arm for potential deeper penetration that could have led to death, but found the wound to be superficial.
“Even a newborn baby won’t die from that injury. At the time I conducted the autopsy, the injury wasn’t even there, perhaps due to post-mortem changes. I couldn’t tell how the injection was given, because I had already lost (his) fluids,” Eze said.
At an earlier session, Dr. Eze had stated that the cause of death could not be conclusively determined because of the advanced stage of decomposition. Nevertheless, he pointed to the likelihood of a “severe and rapid hypersensitivity reaction” — a strong allergic reaction — caused by a substance administered via injection.
Mohbad, whose real name was Ilerioluwa Aloba, died on September 12, 2023, shortly after sustaining an injury and being treated at his Lekki home. He reportedly developed convulsions after being given an injection by a nurse and died soon after. He was buried the following day.
Dr. Eze also stated, when questioned by the family’s lead counsel Wahab Shittu (SAN), that the treatment given to the late singer by the nurse resembled a case of “medical misadventure.”
As the inquest nears its end, the public and all parties await the coroner’s final decision, which is expected to address the lingering questions surrounding Mohbad’s tragic death.
Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has spoken openly about her feelings for her former partner and music collaborator, Wizkid.
In a video that has been widely shared online, the singer revealed that performing with Wizkid brings back strong memories of their past relationship, making it an emotional experience for her.
She recalled their reunion at the Great Lagos Countdown 2025, a popular annual music event held in Lagos.
According to Tiwa, seeing Wizkid again reminded her of the feelings she had six years ago, and she said she still finds it difficult to hide her emotions whenever they perform together.
The singer explained that although their relationship had challenges, she still remembers the good moments they shared.
She admitted that if she had the chance to choose one man in her life, it would be Wizkid.
Speaking in the video, she said, “It’s uncomfortable performing with Wizkid on stage. I admit I’m still in love with him.
“When we reunited at Great Lagos Countdown 2025, my heart beat just as it did six years ago. Every time Wizkid gets close, I can’t control my smile.
“He gave me so many beautiful memories that I almost forgot how bad our relationship once was. If I could choose one man in this lifetime, it would only be Wizkid.
Tiwa Savage’s comments have since attracted attention from fans and social media users, with many reacting to her honest confession about her past relationship with Wizkid.
Nigerian actor and content creator Bamidele Tope Saint, popularly known as Okemesi, has cried out for help following an alleged spiritual attack that left him homeless.
He made the plea on Thursday during an interview with his colleague, Tony Montana.
Okemesi, who has been away from the screen for almost a year, disclosed that he has been suffering from a spiritual attack that left him paralysed.
While calling on his fans for help, the actor stated that he is now homeless and helpless.
Actor Tony Montana said, “I’m very sad seeing you in this condition. It is difficult for people, including your fans, to recognise you. What happened to you?”
Okemesi responded: “It was a spiritual attack. May God protect us from spiritual arrows. I was taken to Island Hospital, and people donated to foot my bills. But we realised it was beyond the hospital when my condition worsened. That was when the people with me searched for my relatives’ numbers on my phone.
“My senior brother in Osogbo asked them to bring me to him. He picked me up from the motor park and took me directly to an Islamic cleric for a solution. It was a serious attack. I became crippled. It was the prayers from people and God’s miracles that revived me. I couldn’t talk or stand. I began to walk with crutches a few hours after the Alfa gave me some spiritual items to use the same day I arrived.
“My brother was also attacked after I left the cleric’s place to stay with him for proper care. He was involved in an accident and also had a marital crisis with his wife. I had to leave his place and started staying on church premises. I don’t have a place to sleep, I don’t have anything. In fact, it’s difficult to feed. My fans, you are the only thing left for me. Please, I need your help to get back on my feet, especially with accommodation,” he stated.
Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, speaking during an appearance on The LongForm Podcast on YouTube, the award-winning singer reflected on how early fame and success exposed him to an intense nightlife culture.
Davido revealed that he no longer lives the party-heavy lifestyle that characterised his early years in the music industry, saying maturity, family and rest have become his priorities.
He admitted that clubbing used to be a regular part of his routine but noted that his lifestyle has since evolved.
Davido explained that he now prefers spending time at home, working in the studio and hosting small gatherings with close friends instead of frequenting nightclubs. He added that even during recent extended visits to Nigeria, he chose to stay indoors and found enjoyment in quieter activities.
According to him, family life has become central to his daily routine, describing his current lifestyle as calmer but fulfilling.
Despite the shift, the singer said he remains energetic when it comes to performances, music production and professional engagements.
