Iyabo Ojo Shares Updates On Mohbad’s Death Investigation
Nollywood star Iyabo Ojo has revealed that the Nigeria Police Force is still awaiting the results of a toxicology test following the autopsy performed on Nigerian singer Mohbad, who tragically passed away on September 12, 2023.
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, October 17, Ojo shared that Mohbad’s case has now been handed over to the Directorate of Public Prosecution.
She also mentioned that, despite the passage of time since his exhumation in September, the late singer’s remains have not yet been released.
Furthermore, Ojo highlighted that the surveillance cameras in Mohbad’s residence were never operational, leaving no video evidence to shed light on the circumstances surrounding his demise.
She further revealed, “Mohbad’s wife has been interrogated three times to the best of my knowledge. Two out of the three times was the day you all saw Mohbad’s dad televised by the police in which they addressed the public on Mohbad’s case. Later that same day, Mohbad’s dad, mum and wife were sent to Panti for interrogation and to write their statements. Another day, Mohbad’s wife was interrogated was the 21st of September 2023 — reason why Tonto and Senator Ishaku Abbo met her absences.”

Mohbad’s sudden and mysterious death in September sparked peaceful protests nationwide demanding for the police to investigate. Nigerians demanded that an autopsy be carried out and the police did just that after exhuming his body from his grave in Ikorodu.
Even though the police declared that the singer died due to the reactions from three injections he was given by an auxiliary nurse, Nigerians still await some results from the autopsy carried out including the toxicology report.
After questioning over 20 people, the police have pinpointed five suspects in Mohbad’s case: Feyisayo Ogendengbe, the nurse who administered injections; Ayobami Sadiq, aka Spending, the singer’s friend who invited the nurse; Owodunni Ibrahim, aka Primeboy, who had a prior altercation; and Naira Marley and Sam Larry, accused of bullying and assault by the singer before his death.
