March 16, 2025 Auxiliary Nurse Testifies in Mohbad’s Death Inquiry, Reveals Details of Singer’s Final Hours

Feyisayo Ogedengbe, an auxiliary nurse, testified before the coroner’s inquest into the death of Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, at the Magistrate Court in Ikorodu, Lagos, on Saturday. The nurse provided a detailed account of the events leading to the singer’s tragic death after receiving a tetanus injection.

Ogedengbe, who trained at Cornerstone Hospital in Akute, Ogun State, from 2014 to 2017 and worked there for a year before relocating, explained that she was contacted on September 11, 2023, by a client named Ayobami Sodiq, also known as “Spending.” He requested her assistance in administering a tetanus injection to a friend who had sustained a hand injury, suspected to have a piece of glass embedded in it.

Due to heavy traffic, Ogedengbe was unable to attend to the patient that day but arrived at Orchid Estate in Lekki the following day, September 12, at around 2:30 PM. It was only upon arrival that she realized the patient was the famous singer Mohbad. Present at the scene were Mohbad, his wife, and his friend, Ayobami.

Ogedengbe noted that Mohbad’s right hand was swollen, and she administered a tetanus injection intramuscularly on his upper arm. Before proceeding, she inquired if Mohbad had a history of ulcers. Upon confirming that he did, she opted against administering a diclofenac injection and instead gave him a paracetamol injection intravenously, along with ceftriaxone to treat a potential bacterial infection.

“I gave Mohbad 4ml of paracetamol and 1ml of water, totaling 5ml, which is the standard dosage for adults. I also diluted 10ml of ceftriaxone and administered it slowly,” she explained. “I informed Mohbad and his wife that the injections were for pain relief and to address a bacterial infection, as his arm was swollen and causing discomfort.”

However, shortly after receiving the ceftriaxone injection, Mohbad complained of nausea and vomited. Ogedengbe removed the injection, and Mohbad went to the bathroom to vomit again. Upon returning, he sat on the floor, and Ogedengbe noticed goosebumps covering his body. Mohbad’s wife attributed this to his typical reaction to injections and suggested pouring water on him to alleviate the symptoms.

As the situation worsened, Ogedengbe and Ayobami rushed to a nearby pharmacy to obtain hydrocortisone and saline infusion to treat the allergic reaction and dehydration. However, the first pharmacy did not have the required medications, forcing them to search for another. By the time they returned, Mohbad had already been carried outside his home, and plans were underway to transport him to a hospital.

Ogedengbe recounted that Mohbad did not convulse in her presence, but Ayobami received calls indicating that the singer was convulsing. Due to the lack of a vehicle, a neighbor offered to drive them to the hospital. Heavy traffic delayed their journey, and Mohbad was eventually transferred to a motorbike to reach the hospital faster. Ogedengbe ran alongside the motorbike, but by the time they arrived at the first hospital, medical personnel pronounced Mohbad dead after attempting CPR.

The doctor at the first hospital questioned Ogedengbe about the medications she had administered, and she provided a detailed explanation. Mohbad’s friend, Darosha, arrived shortly after and insisted on taking the singer to another hospital. Despite efforts to revive him at the second hospital, Mohbad was declared dead once again.

Ogedengbe later accompanied Mohbad’s lawyer and Ayobami to the police station to report the incident and seek a death certificate. The police officer advised them to visit Ajiwe Police Station in Ajah for further assistance.

The case has been adjourned to March 21, 2025, for further hearing. Ogedengbe’s testimony sheds light on the chaotic and tragic final hours of Mohbad’s life, raising questions about the circumstances surrounding his death.
