The Director of Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre, Dr. Richard Somiari, hinted while testifying during a coroner’s inquest into the death of Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, on Wednesday, that the autopsy carried out on the deceased would be available in three to four weeks.
The ‘Egwu’ crooner was reported dead on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27 years.
His death generated controversies across the country and beyond, prompting the Lagos State Government to direct a coroner’s inquest into the death.
The inquest, which began on October 13, 2023, is taking place at the Ikorodu Magistrates’ Court.
Somiari assured the coroner, Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi, to expect the first set of autopsy results in three to four weeks and re-confirm to authenticate the cause of his death.
“We searched for multiple possibilities to check if poison was involved in the death of Mohbad since no actual cause was mentioned,” he said.
The forensic expert assured the public of adequate security and monitoring of samples for the autopsy.
“We have a place where items are stored for the safety and security of results. There is a procedure for monitoring samples moved abroad,” he added.
