Dr. Richard Somiari, the Director of the Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre, has announced that the results of an autopsy conducted on the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, will be ready in the next three to four weeks.
Somiari made this known on Wednesday, March 20, during his testimony at a coroner’s inquest into Mohbad's death. The witness was cross-examined by the defence counsel during the inquest.
Mohbad passed away on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27, sparking controversies that led the Lagos State Government to launch a coroner’s inquest into his death. The inquest commenced on October 13, 2023.
During the latest hearing on March 20, Somiari informed the Coroner, Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi, saying, “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 explored various possibilities, including the presence of poison, as no specific cause of death was mentioned.”
The forensic expert assured the public of the security and monitoring of samples for the autopsy. “We have a secure location for storing items and ensuring the safety of results. There is a strict procedure for monitoring samples that are sent abroad,” he said.
