Mohbad’s autopsy results to be ready in three weeks
An autopsy conducted on the remains of the late singer,
Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad would be ready in the next three or
four weeks.
Dr Richard Somiari, Director of Lagos State DNA and Forensic
Centre gave the hint while testifying during a coroner’s inquest into the death
of the singer on Wednesday.
The witness was cross-examined by defence counsel in the
inquest.
The musician died on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27
years.
The inquest, which began on October 13, 2023, is taking
place at the Ikorodu Magistrates’ Court.
Somiari told the Coroner, Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi: “We
expected to get the first set of autopsy results in three to four weeks and
re-confirm to authenticate the cause of the death.
“We searched for multiple possibilities, to check if poison
was involved in the death of Mohbad since no actual cause was mentioned.”
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 safety and
security of results. There is a procedure for monitoring samples moved abroad,”
he said.
