The family of the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, professionally known as Mohbad, has conducted a fresh autopsy to determine the cause of his death.
A member of the family’s legal team, Monisola Odumosu, made the development known in a statement issued on Tuesday.
Odumosu said the autopsy was conducted on July 19 and 20, 2024.
The utopsy followed an order granted by the Magistrate of the Coroner Court sitting in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State, T. A. Shotobi, on June 26, 2024.
Shotobi granted the order to the father of Mohbad, Joseph Aloba.
The father of the deceased was granted the order to engage a licensed and certified pathologist for a completely independent autopsy on the late singer.
The court also ordered that the applicant should bear all costs associated with the examination, evaluation, and autopsy.
