The results of the toxicology test, which was carried out to ascertain the cause of death for the deceased singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad, are in.
State attorney Oluwaseun Akinde acknowledged the examination’s American origins at a November 2023 session at the coroner’s court in the state’s Ikorodu district, according to reporting from PUNCH Metro.
Akinde stated that the toxicological test sought to look at internal issues, while the autopsy focused on the deceased’s outward body.
The test results were then returned to Nigeria, according to a Lagos State Government official who told The PUNCH’s correspondent on Thursday.
The official asked to remain anonymous since they were not authorized to discuss the topic.
He also claimed that the police had received a copy of it.
“The toxicology test is ready and given to the police. We projected 10 weeks from the outset but it came in before then. The laboratory that would have done the job was burnt down during #EndSARS protest.
“So the sample has to be taken abroad and now that it has been brought back, it is for the police to proceed with their investigation and charge people who needed to be charged to court and call on the government to prosecute, but as it is, I think the Lagos State government has done what it should do, the ball is now in their court,” the official disclosed.
The outcome was confirmed by a Lagos State Police Command source who spoke to the media on condition of anonymity since they were not permitted to do so.
“The toxicology report is with us. It arrived on Monday but it is medical jargon for us. We don’t understand what it is. Even you will never understand what it is. So, it has been sent to the pathologists who carried out the autopsy to interpret it in layman’s terms. Once the interpretation is out, it will be announced through the office of the PPRO,” the informant disclosed.
