The Lagos State Police Command has named an auxiliary nurse, Feyisayo Ogedengbe as prime suspect in the death of Nigerian musician, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, better known as Mohbad.
The Police named other suspects as musician and record label owner, Naira Marley as well as Sam Larry, Primeboy, and one other.
Mohbad reportedly died under suspicious circumstances on September 12 at the age of 27. His death has since become a subject of controversy, as videos of the singer, purportedly depicting bullying and physical assault surfaced.
“Five suspects have so far been identified, arrested, detained, and interrogated on their alleged roles in the sequence of events that led to the death of the singer,” the Commissioner of Police, Idowu Owohunwa, said in a press briefing on Friday.
According to Owohunwa, Ogedengbe administered “multiple and highly potent” injections on Mohbad.
Owohunwa further said that the injections, consisting of Tetanus Toxoid, Paracetamol, and Cetrazone — an antibiotic — were administered at Mobad’s residence on September 12.
The medications were said to have triggered an immediate reaction, including vomiting, goosebumps and convulsion.
Owohunwa said Ogedengbe was unqualified to perform the role of a home nurse and did so in a non-clinical environment and professionally negligent manner.
Another suspect is Ibrahim Oluwatosin Owodunni, aka Primeboy, who is described as a childhood friend of Mohbad.
Owohunwa said Primeboy attended a show with Mohbad on September 10, which culminated in a physical fight between the two that led to the late singer’s injury.
“The management of the injury subsequently resulted in his death,” he added.
Another suspect, Ayobami Sadiq, aka Spending, was said to have invited the auxiliary nurse and is “suspected of conspiracy to commit a felony”.
Sam Larry, whose real name is Samson Balogun, was arrested and remains in detention for being complicit in Mohbad’s death and in relation to viral videos by the deceased about bullying and assault, the police commissioner said.
