Mohbad’s Dad Wants In-Law, Nurse Prosecuted

Joseph Aloba, father of the late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has called on the Lagos State Government to initiate criminal prosecution against his son’s widow, Omowunmi Aloba, and other individuals indicted in the Coroner’s Inquest into the artist’s death.

The demand was contained in a petition addressed to the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Lawal Pedro (SAN), and signed by Aloba’s legal counsel, Wahab Shittu (SAN).

In the letter, Aloba urged the state to prosecute Feyisayo Ogedengbe, the auxiliary nurse who administered an injection to Mohbad shortly before his death in September 2023. The Coroner’s verdict, delivered in July 2025 by Magistrate Taofikat Shotobi, described Ogedengbe’s actions as both “unlawful and professionally negligent,” citing her decision to administer medication without a doctor’s prescription.

The petition also sought accountability for others who were present at the singer’s residence on the day of the incident, particularly those who invited the nurse or failed to seek immediate medical attention. Magistrate Shotobi faulted Mohbad’s wife for choosing home treatment over taking him to a medical facility.

Despite these findings, Aloba’s legal team expressed concern that more than two months after the Coroner’s report, the state has not initiated any prosecutions.

“Our client, as a bereaved father who seeks justice, is deeply troubled by the fact that, despite the clear indictments contained in the Coroner’s verdict, no prosecutorial steps have been taken since July 11, 2025,” the petition stated.

Shittu urged the Attorney-General to commence prosecution within 14 days, stressing the high public interest surrounding the case. He added that if the state declines to act, Aloba’s legal team should be formally authorized to prosecute on behalf of the state under the Administration of Criminal Justice Law of Lagos State.
