The auxiliary nurse who treated Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, has revealed that the late singer had a severe reaction to a tetanus injection she administered.
Ogedengbe’s testimony before Justice C.A. Shotobi at the Coroner’s Court in Ikorodu, Lagos, uncovered that Mohbad started vomiting and developed goosebumps after the injection.
She explained that Ayobami Sodiq contacted her to treat Mohbad on September 12. According to her, she noticed a swollen cut on his right hand upon arrival.
She administered a tetanus shot, paracetamol and ceftriaxone to treat a bacterial infection.
Ogedengbe further said Mohbad began to feel discomfort, vomited and developed goosebumps, which his wife, Omowunmi, described as a “normal response” to injections.
“After vomiting in the toilet, he returned to the room and sat on the floor where I noticed the goosebumps on his body.
“I showed his wife (Omowunmi) the reaction, and she said it was his normal response to injections.
“Omowunmi then took Mohbad to the bathroom and began pouring water on his head.
“After visiting another pharmacy and obtaining the necessary hydrocortisone injection and normal saline infusion, we returned to find Mohbad outside the house,” she said.
By then, preparations were underway to take him to the hospital.
“Due to a lack of available vehicles and heavy traffic, Mohbad was transported to the hospital on a motorcycle, where he was later declared dead on arrival by the medical team.”
The Lagos State Director of Public Prosecutions at a Magistrates Court, sitting in Sabo, Yaba, Lagos has stated in February 2025 that Ogedengbe and Sodiq will face prosecution for reckless and negligent acts under Section 251 (e) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
The court has acquitted Naira Marley, Sam Larry, Primeboy, and Mohbad’s former manager, Opere Babatunde.
