Late Mohbad’s Toxicology Test To Determine His Cause Of Death is Now Available; police confirm and to be read out soon to the public.
After being done in the US, the toxicology test that was done to find out how the late music star Ilerioluwa Aloba, called Mohbad, died is now complete.
Late singer, Mohbad
In November 2023, Oluwaseun Akinde, the lawyer for Lagos State, confirmed this to the coroner’s court in the Ikorodu area of the state. He said that the autopsy on the body’s outside was finished, while the chemical test was on the body’s inside.
Mohbad died on September 12, 2023, when he was 27 years old. The details of his death caused a lot of debate on social media.
On September 18, 2023, the Lagos State Police Command set up a 13-person special investigation team to look into how the singer died.
Now, a government source in Lagos State told PUNCH that the test result was sent to the state’s DNA and Forensic Centre last week.
An official who did not want to be named also said that the test result was sent to the cops earlier this week.
“The toxicology test is ready and given to the police. We projected 10 weeks from the outset but it came in before then. It was received by the DNA and Forensic Centre last week and has been sent to the police,” the source said.
Another source confirms that,
“The toxicology report is with us. It arrived on Monday but it is medical jargon for us. We don’t understand what it is. So it has been sent to the pathologist that carried out the autopsy to analyse and interpret it.”
The head of the Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre, Richard Somiari, said on March 20 that the toxicology report would be ready in three to four weeks.
An inquest into the singer’s death was heard from Somiari, who said, “We expected to get the first set of autopsy results in three to four weeks and re-confirm to authenticate the cause of 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.
“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.
