A Disc Jockey (DJ), Ajisegiri Ayobami has told a Lagos Coroner, Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi, that the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, died after he was administered an injection by a nurse.
Ayobami, who claimed that he was with Mohbad on the day he died, testified on Wednesday, October 25, 2023, that the late singer vomited the noodles his brother, Adura Aloba, had prepared for him before the medical treatment.
The witness further told Magistrate Shotobi that the previous day, which was on Sunday, they went for a show at Ikorodu, and on their way back, their Prado Jeep was blocked, and he saw Mohbad come down from his Jeep to fight his friend, Primeboy and then he got injured.
He also stated that although the wound was a small cut on his hand, but by the time they got home at midnight, the hand was already swollen.
Ayobami said that he and other people in the house tried to call Mohbad’s nurse, but she said she was not around, so one of their team members (Spending) said he had a nurse, and they called the nurse, who came to administer an injection on him.
In his words: “The nurse said we should go and get him drugs; while we were at the pharmacy, I called the house to know how he was feeling, and they said I should come back.
“When I got back, they were already outside trying to put him in a neighbour’s car to get him to the hospital, but the way I saw him, he was lifeless, his eyes were closed, and his hands were falling.
“While we were going to the hospital, there was traffic, so I came down from the other vehicle and ran to the hospital. I asked them if they had an ambulance, and they said no. Before I could get back to them, I saw them bringing Mohbad on a bike, and when we got to the hospital, he was confirmed dead.”
Also, Mohbad’s mother, Mrs Abosede Aloba, told the coroner’s inquest that her late son was supposed to be a pastor, according to a prophecy when she gave birth to him, adding that she didn’t know that her son was a musician until she and Mohbad reconnected in 2019 at Ayobo after she left him with his father when he was three years old.
