The Lagos Coroner Court sitting in Ikorodu heard on Wednesday that the most critical part of the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba nicknamed Mohbad’s autopsy is being completed in the United States (US).
The autopsy of the deceased’s external body has been completed, according to State Counsel Oluwaseun Akinde, who informed the coroner, Magistrate Adetayo Shotobi.
He said, “The toxicology test, which has to do with internal body, is being done in the US.”
Following the demand of other counsel to the deceased’s father, David Fadimu, Akinde made this known; that of TNKay Music Worldwide, David Nawoola, representative of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Ikorodu, O.S.A. Aranmolaran, and Jennifer Nina.
The coroner questioned why the toxicology was sent outside when toxicology laboratories exist in Nigeria.
Akinde told the coroner that Lagos State decided to conduct the autopsy in the United States due to the nature of the many substances believed to have been injected or consumed by the dead, as well as the necessity to avoid dispute about the autopsy report when it was finally submitted.
He said it was also because the death of the deceased had become a worldwide issue.
He said there was no point in inviting Prof. Soyemi, the pathologist in Lagos to present an uncompleted report.
