The Lagos State Police Command has identified Ms Feyisayo Ogedengbe, an auxiliary nurse, as the prime suspect in Mohbad’s death.
The Commissioner of Police, Idowu Owohunwa, disclosed this in a press briefing on Friday, adding that Naira Marley, Sam Larry, Primeboy, and one other have been named suspects.
Recall that Mohbad, whose real name is Ilerioluwa Aloba, died on September 12 at the age of 27. Following his death, there have been speculations that the singer was bullied and assaulted before his death, and this has sparked controversies among Nigerians.
While briefing the press on Friday, the police commissioner said: “Five suspects have so far been identified, arrested, detained, and interrogated on their alleged roles in the sequence of events that led to the death of the singer.”
Owohunwa added that Ogedengbe administered “multiple and highly potent” injections to Mohbad. He revealed that the injections, consisting of Tetanus Toxoid, paracetamol, and Cetrazone — an antibiotic — were administered at Mobad’s residence on September 12.
The medications were said to have triggered an immediate reaction, including vomiting, goosebumps and convulsion.
According to him, Ogedengbe was unqualified to perform the role of a home nurse and did so in a non-clinical environment and professionally negligent manner.
Another suspect is Ibrahim Oluwatosin Owodunni aka Primeboy, who is described as a childhood friend of Mohbad.
The police commissioner disclosed that Primeboy attended a show with Mohbad on September 10, which culminated in a physical fight between the two that led to the late singer’s injury.
“The management of the injury subsequently resulted in his death,” Owohunwa said.
The police commissioner added that Sam Larry, whose real name is Samson Balogun, was, and remains in detention for being complicit in the Afrobeats star’s death.
He also noted that Abdul-Aziz Fashola, aka Naira Marley, was also arrested and is still in detention over similar allegations.
The police commissioner added that the exhumation of Mohbad’s remains, autopsy, and toxicology test were undertaken on September 21, adding that results of the autopsy and toxicology were being awaited
