“We don’t have Mohbad’s autopsy result” – Police says
According to the Lagos State Police Command, they have not received the official autopsy report of Mohbad, whose passing caused controversy.
It has been two months since Tuesday, November 21, 2023, when the late Mohbad’s body was dug up for an autopsy.
Tuesday, September 12, 2023, saw the controversial death of Mohbad, who had previously been signed to Naira Marley’s record label.
The 27-year-old singer’s death was investigated by a coroner, as ordered by the state government of Lagos.
Unanswered questions highlight the need for clarification regarding the gifted singer’s death as the autopsy investigation proceeds.
The police emphasise that, in spite of circulating rumours, they are committed to depending only on accurate information. Benjamin Hundeyin, the state police public relations officer, provided an update on the autopsy.
Hundeyin said:
“The autopsy report has not been given to us. Some people have been carrying rumours that it’s ready. It’s one thing for it to be ready; it’s another thing for it to be given to us officially—that we would receive and sign a copy that we have received it. So, we don’t work with rumours; we work with facts.”
Only the singer’s family attorney may ask the pathologists to divulge the autopsy results, according to Hundeyin. If not, when it’s ready, the police will receive it on their own.
This comes after the late musician Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, issued a warning to anyone who could try to take his son’s remains for burial without his consent.
