Professional Negligence From Auxiliary Nurse Led To Mohbad’s Death – Police

The police have named an ‘auxiliary nurse’ who administered an injection as the prime suspect in the death of singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly called Mohbad.

Lagos State Police Commissioner, Idowu Owohunwa disclosed this at a press briefing Friday where he shared a police report detailing the result of an ongoing investigation of Mohbad’s death.

About a fortnight ago, Mr. Owohunwa set up a 13-member police team to investigate the tragic death of Mohbad.

The musician, 27, died on 12 September and was buried the next day at Ikorodu.

There have been several controversies about the events that led to his death and who might be criminally liable, individually or jointly.

According to the police report, the investigation particularly scrutinized allegations against Naira Marley and Sam Larry of bullying and assaulting the deceased and accusations against the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

The police, according to the report, also identified and interviewed 26 critical witnesses, including family members, friends, and medical personnel whose testimonies shed light on the events leading to Mohbad’s death.

According to the police report, five suspects were identified and detained. The principal suspect is Feyisayo Ogedengbe, an auxiliary nurse who administered an injection believed to have triggered Mohbad’s fatal reactions.

Also, according to the police report, medical expert opinions from a team of medical professionals highlighted instances of illegal acts and professional negligence in the administration of drugs by the auxiliary nurse, Ms Ogedengbe.

The report said, “This criminal liability is further heightened given the evidence that as an auxiliary nurse, she is not qualified to administer such medications or function as a qualified nurse. She also did this in a non-clinical environment and in a professionally negligent manner that negated standard medical protocols.”

The police said Ayobami Sodiq, Ibrahim Owoduni (Prime Boy), Naira Marley, and Sam Larry are also implicated in other aspects of the case.
