The family of the late singer Mohbad has conducted a new autopsy to determine the cause of his death.
Previously, the family expressed dissatisfaction with the initial autopsy results, which were deemed inconclusive.
The Magistrate of the Coroner Court in Ikorodu, Lagos State, T.A. Shotobi, granted an order on June 26 allowing the family to engage a licensed pathologist for an independent autopsy. The court also ruled that the family should bear all costs associated with the examination and autopsy.
Monisola Odumosu, a member of the family’s legal team, stated that the autopsy was conducted on Friday, July 19, and Saturday, July 20. If the post-mortem procedure fails to reveal the cause of death, the family plans to carry out toxicology and histology tests on the necessary samples obtained.
Odumosu said, “The second autopsy, as requested by the Aloba family and ordered by the Magistrate of the Coroner Court, Ms. T.A. Shotobi, was conducted on July 19 and 20, 2024. If the cause of death cannot be determined from this initial examination, the second part will proceed, involving toxicology and histology tests.”
The legal team disclosed that the procedure was witnessed by Mohbad’s father and two separate pathologists appointed by him and Mohbad’s wife, Wunmi.
