Protesters Visit US Lab, Demand Clarification On Mohbad’s Toxicology Test

A group of concern protesters have visited the headquarters of the National Medical Services Laboratories in Pennsylvania, the United States, to demand clarification over the toxicology result reportedly conducted in the facility to determine the cause of death of the late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad.
On Wednesday, a member of Mohbad’s family legal team, Taiwo Odumosu, told the Punch Newspaper that the US-based lab refuted the claim by the Lagos State Government that the toxicology test was conducted at its facility.
It will be recalled that around February 2024, the Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, while responding to an enquiry by Ahmad Isah, the anchor of an Abuja-based online programme, Bereke Family, stated that the toxicology test was being conducted at the US lab in Pennsylvania.
Contrary to his statement, the Punch reported that a pathologist, while testifying before the Coroner’s Court on May 15, revealed that an autopsy couldn’t determine Mohbad’s cause of death due to the decomposition of his body.
For more clarification, Punch reported that on May 17, it contacted the Client Services Associate, Forensics Division at NMS Lab, Esther Dede, who stated, “Unfortunately, we do not have a case for that patient.”
On the report of the late Mohbad’s family, the legal team alleged that there were discrepancies as to the involvement of NMS lab, adding that the letterhead and address of the facility appeared on the toxicology report despite stating non-involvement with the case.
The protesters and the legal team have since demanded an official written public statement to set the record straight for transparency.
